Looking at those machines you posted from Agrisales and the prices I'd get yours repaired. Better the devil you know.

£10k for a battered PC7500 with 10k hours on it! You think you've got problems now, you just wait till you get something like that home.
Almost did but currently replacement engines not available.

Thanks for the offer.

Not sure what is going on with that one.

Was on ebay & seemed to sell but he has also recently put it on FB too.

His FB price was more than the ebay price & out my price range with the vat & delivery.

IIRC when you put the link up it only had circa 13hrs to run , so has either just finished or someone did indeed buy it - it was an auction ... the face book ad will run until removed and he is advertising it at the figure he'd like to see for it.
No harm in having a tentative offer, subject to a viewing, if your offer is acceptable ... Ruben's offered above to eyeball it for you and would do a decent job of that - he's no fool. he's been here to my place several times, so have spent some time in his company and would be happy for him to eyeball for me .. he's also a fussy sod :giggle::giggle: (like me) .. The VAT is a PITA, but 's the way it is sadly ... had to swallow it on the 'drema, much as I detest it ..... and had to up the budget substantially to find anything worth having. :rolleyes:

well the seller doesn't have to take the highest bid ... if he pulls it at T - 1 minute :rolleyes: ... and can then relist, provided he changes something in the listing - can be as little as a single letter or word in the description :rolleyes: - up to 4 times IIRC

I think it ended at £12700 with a winning bidder.
Actually its done so twice so far.

£12400 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165108637000?hash=item26713ddd48:g:rD8AAOSw3YphW2zG

& £12700 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165111202942?hash=item267165047e:g:rD8AAOSw3YphW2zG

Both times a zero feed back bidder........

a decision one needs to make before bothering to have it eyeballed ....
speak with the seller and negotiate a deal - subject to a satisfactory viewing -
if you can't reach a figure you'd be happy to pay, there's no point.

It'll take Ruben a couple of hours to give that a thorough going over and satisfy himself that he's able to give you an acceptable appraisal .. his rep. is on the line in doing it, so he will be thorough (y)

seems you're either going to accept that you need to up the budget to obtain something of the ilk that you seem to be looking at ... or accept that what you are going to buy in budget is never going to be what you want. :(

I upped mine 50% when duck hunting - had to, to get anything worth having ... struck a deal subject to viewing, 'fore i drove 250 miles to eyeball it . and came home a happy bunny, for all the effort .... one of the best buys i've ever had :giggle: ..... some times you just have to 'bite the bullet' ;)

I know I know.

I wont waste his time looking if either I cant up my funds or get seller down a tad.

Have upped budget several times already.

One upside is that I realised that now my driver training business has been FUBAR'd by the gov I can take my other business VAT registered as it wont affect it. That helped add a few £k to the budget. But still about £1k short. In coms with seller but struggling to meet in the middle.
