Can you find out why the previous owner sold it/traded it in? (was it tempermental or the person traded up, etc) I doubt that they will actually tell you if it was tempermental, but they may tell you if the person bought one with more bells and whistles, etc.

I would say go get it. I have a BL Ellure that I purchased almost 6 years ago. The machine is incredible. It does everything I need and have never had a problem with it and I do a lot of sewing. I do have it checked, oiled, etc once a year and that saves me a lot of aggravation. Never have a problem. I wish everything I bought held up as well. I also have the small BL that I can take with me but it does not have all the options. I would grab it.

I think the espire is the one I have - name changed to symphony so whichever that is. it's big and heavy and I seldom use any of the fancy stitches (actually not sure I've used any but the straight stitch...) but I do like the machine. I've been using a Janome Harmony for taking around to sewins but it needs a trip to the machine guy for a good cleaning so the Babylock is now in it's tote. At home I've been trying to get around to the old Singers I got from my mom and currently a singer 15-91 and 301 are being used as well as a Kenmore 1040 I got recently.
not familiar with the one you're looking at but I've been happy with my babylock- for new machines I'd probably go with janome or babylock
