Mines alot newer than that. I'll guarantee you'd not find one looked after better anywhere. Oil change every 200 hours, greased throughout the day. And to answer your question no they wasn't 8k back then.

One thing I would consider is I'm not sure how well the E10 ages. I've driven a 1500 hour one and it was quite loose. To be fair I think it may have been abused but it's something to think about.

My dx10 at 0 hours was knocking like a twat on the king post, took them two attempts to get it somewhere reasonable

In 2004 a taki tb108 with 4 buckets, a breaker, an auger with 8" and 12" flights and a trailer was 14.5k + vat if i remember rightly

That sounds like it was a good deal

Needed a spacer to take the slack out, they also changed the both pins (twice) and the boom pin, still wasn't great but alot better than it was

Quite possibly they ran a deal on the full package for a while. I'd guess if you were to break it down the digger itself could have been around 9k + vat. It's matter less looking at it that way though tbh second hand prices always follow new price rises to some degree it just doesn't sit well thinking your paying nearly the new price for something old.

Nothing terribly difficult to do then

Current e10 I'm looking into is 15k all in a newone is 22k which I don't see being that bad considering

It is pretty awful but doubt it'll get any better any time soon

I can't believe they are that much in such a short space of time tbh, about 12 months ago new e10 was 15k and that was following a fair jump in price then.

And 2 years ago 13k on a bad day. I suppose what needs to be considered here is whether it's inc vat or ex vat.
