I too bought a used HQ16 (frame model, not sit down). It is a 10 year old machine, but it works beautifully. If any part go wrong, you can have it replaced or upgraded. For 2500$ with a stitch regulator, it was a great deal. You can find these kind of entry level longarm for sale because some people start with these, then upgrade. The previous owner of mine was going for a big Innova.
