Price is too high for the risks. Check the warranty on the electronics (5 yrs?), (original owner?). You have to set it up yourself. What if you have problems? I have a friend who got a new machine for Christmas and so she was asking the same as your friend.....that is about what she spent 4 1/2 years ago. She said I would be saving the price that has gone up in those years. She was trying to recoup all her cost. Good for her, not so good for a buyer with problems. Now if you have a history of fixing and tinkering with machines, you may have high confidence you can address anything that is not so right. My hubby is a tinkerer. He recommended I buy new if I wanted it. Best wishes on your opportunity.
