Used MC 6500P vs. new DC 1050
I wrote a post a half hour ago that must have vanished. Let me do this again.
In the market to upgrade from a good ole Kenmore to a computerized one. I am sold on Janome. My options are buying a usedMC 6500P vs new DC 1050 for 300-375 (depending if i shop Mrvacnmrssew or my local dealer) .
The used one? Craigslist ...asking $600 ... 8 yrs old, recently serviced by the same dealer I use. Seller is Janome loyal , considering she has a pricier embroidery one also for sale. Has 13 feet. Seller is a quilter and her pics showquilts on the walls behind machines. )
my hesitation comes from the dealer said a few weeks ago when i asked about buying a used computerized. He said he would not because you dont knowwhat youre getting, unlike a mechanical that sraightforward. However, as i mentioned, both the seller and I use the same guy and he told her two weeks ago when he cleaned this 6500 of hers that it needed no repairs.
What would you do? New mc 6500 retail for 1499.
