Most dealers will offer an in-store warranty on a used machine they sell. Sometimes only 6 months, but you should ask. Machine warranties won't transfer but the store will usually stand behind the machine if they've serviced it. Make sure you ask about it being serviced too. It's a great option to buy used from a dealer. Especially a local dealer. You could always tell them that you can only spend $2500 and see what they say:>
