So I looked at it today. Overall nice machine. No significant damage. Boom, dipper great shape, very tight, no welds. Cab pretty good, a few minor things (lower piece of glass missing on front, horn not working, 2 levers missing small handles. Battery was dead, but at least he started it completely cold. It fired right up with a jump and ran perfectly smooth. No weird smoke on start. Tracks are 50%. I壇 say they had 1000-1500 hours on them. Still look like they have another 1000 to go.
He will not budge on the price 28,500. Actually seems like a good price. I have a call into my bank. Waiting to hear what they offer
