I would also not purchase from outside the US for a variety of reasons. Financial risk is a big one.
To the OP, be aware that most sewing machine warranties do not transfer to new owners at all, even within a country. So do not expect to even be able to ship the machine back overseas for warranty work (plus the cost of shipping is likely prohibitive).
If you are looking for a newer machine and a high dollar one, your safest bet is a reputable local dealer who has taken one in on trade.
