I've got a 2008-era Weber Summit S-670... I got it second hand about ten years ago and it's been great up until recently.
It's now getting the dreaded cookbox rust formation at the front of the grill behind the dials, and the bottom panel is rusting out so the doors don't hold themselves shut anymore.
It's out of warranty. I contacted Weber, and they will sell me the cookbox and bottom panel for about $630.
The rest of the grill is in good shape (though I'll do a much more thorough inspection of it before making a decision). Though I would replace the flavorizer bars and thorougly clean the burners etc if I was going to refurbish this thing...
I've been holding out hoping they'd actually refresh the Summit Series and come out with an upgraded version that has some of the newer features they've been putting on their Genesis series - and maybe... just maybe... also build them out of alloys not so prone to rust.
