I bought my 7570 brand new for a little less then $5000.00 in 2000. The motherboard went out in 2006, replaced at no charge. It is my true workhorse. I also have the embroadery unit with it. I sew on a average everyday, till we moved. Still trying to get back in the mood because of other life issues (don't like the house). You will love it for that price. Make sure it has been serviced before purchase with a Phaff dealer and get receipt for that. Or talk to that dealer that serviced it, there should be record of it.
