For $3500, I would definitely buy it--but I would go there and try it out first to make sure you like the "feel" of it and have them show you how to run it. It would make a perfect (very inexpensive) machine if you are looking for a longarm but not planning on doing very many quilts on it. And if you are doing mostly baby quilts--it will be getting light use. Then if you find you really enjoy longarm quiting, you may want to upgrade to a bigger or newer machine someday, and for the price you are paying for this machine, you can always resell if for a little less and not have lost much money. When I was going to buy my first long arm, I was looking for something used in this price range and could not find anything. Machines this new, with light use, and for this price, are far and few between. Good Luck.
