I bought mine new in 1983 & it's still going. When I bought mine it came with a free table. It's the last all metal machine Bernina made. It's a workhorse. Many consider it a semi-industrial, as it will sew thru 3 layers of stiff leather. I used mine so much that I wore the teeth off the feed dogs. That was the only part I ever had replaced. If this machine was well taken care of I'd say yes it's worth the asking price.
