I have 3 different Janome machines and would recommend them to anyone. I'd say go ahead if you are happy with what you see. Ask to try it. I have never heard a bad word from anyone about Janome machines.

I have one bought new in 2004 for $1999.99 which included a walking foot and 1/4" foot which are normally bought separate. Have used for quilting and embroidery and happy with it. It came with 2 sizes embroidery hoops. I would hope you could get it cheaper.

She stated she bought it two years ago and hardly used it so I would say it has been sitting for around 2 years. Though she did say she has used for light hemmng.
Are the machines loud? Is there a sound I should listen for? The only machine I have used since I started in Nov is the one in my avatar, 1966/1967 Singer.
