Depends on the TM, the spec, the hours usage, service history, condition, what has it done during its life, what extras are with it, the list is endless and thats just the start, work on the same principle as buying a second hand car

cheers lee

what questions would you ask if you were buying one seconed hand

the main question is regular servicing.

the owner should know all about the maintance needed for that particular unit & records to show.

a unit with 500hr on the clock But not serviced is a poor choice .

i am a little over the top when it comes to looking after my units,servicing is done well within the manufactures recomendations.

But these are the things that make you a LOT of money,so i look after  them,i carry a large stock of spare parts for my units.
