Is that with the total at £18.5k?

I've probably just annoyed Barry by telling him his quote for a new E27 was daft. Call it constructive criticism. I said it was no slight on him, just Bobcat.

Two and a half years ago it was 27k with rotate circuit. To replace with exactly the same? £37k!!!!
37k for an E27 😳😳😳😳

Same as e10 so id imagine exact same pricing theres a 2007 kub 008 on scambay older style with rops on the back instead of infront which i actually prefer but with 4500 hours no vat though is that asking for issues or then theres the 8010 buddplant has in atm

Micros and minis are not built as high hours machines imho. That's not to say you can't get high hours from them but you do have to keep in top of greasing and maintenance even more so than with bigger machines. I wouldn't be buying a micro with those hours myself

Thats what i was afraid of seeing as the 8010 at buddplant is a year older with around 3000 hours less probably a better bet

That's got be a scam at that price. If they ask for a deposit you know it is.
How do you tell if a machine has been stolen?

What do you mean at that price? Not as if it's too cheap be 20 year old next year

I've been looking at tb016 prices for the last couple years and haven't seen one for less than £7000 +vat. I'm assuming micro's and 1.5t machines go for similar money?

You can't compare a tb016 to a rightly or wrongly poorly thought of jcb micro. Jcb micros and minis tbh have never been known for holding their money that well. Current climate you can ask what you like coupled with the fact that a basic old school micro with low hours are so few and far between now.

That's a good deal then. £6k no VAT! Assuming there's nothing major wrong with it that is...

Well it's possible it could be a bargain. When I bought my new E10 for £16k Inc in 2018 , anything worth having was a minimum £7-8000. Anything less looked fit for the scrap man.
That looks a bit cheap to me

Spoke to buddplant today the 8010 got sold yesterday but has another in but hour clock is broken previous owner claims its around 2700 but that's anyone's guess really and will be going for around 8k no vat though still considering the finance route on an e10 though

Yeah I don't want to invest in a dog machine hence I'm considering spending more for something newer less hours and something I'd enjoy operating
