I came across a 1984 JCB 1400 Turbo loader/backhoe, its been sitting for about 5 years, has 4,200 hours on it, new tires (5 years old now but no wear), possibly a broken hose. I spoke to the owner, he purchased it, used it to build his new house, had plans to build another house but sold the land and no longer need this. Said it ran great, last time he tried to move it the reverse switch didnt work, and a hose leaked. He said he had a hard time starting it in the winter.
Claims he paid $14k originally and put another $6k into it, he wants $6k now. Would this be a good deal at $4k? I anticipate having to replace the hoses, fluids, filters, electronics...etc Is it fair to budget $2k for that?
What are your thoughts on price/miles/machinery?
thank you!
