[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2483, member: 82"] It really depends on what you want to do with it, if you want to do commercial work with it i would suggest you stay away from it. If you just want it for around home a 5,000 hour unit would be fine. The main problem you have is you can't tell if it has indeed been cared for. I would goto the dealer and give the machine a go, but make sure the engine is stone cold, see how hard it is to start. If its difficult to start the engine has low compression which will cost you a few thousand to fix. $7,000 still sounds pretty good for that machine, its so cheap because of the hours, its really only suitable for home/farm use. I believe most if not all Bobcats are bullet proof, the only problem is the engines. The Kubota engines they use are VERY good and reliable, just don't let them run out of water, they love to crack heads. I'm sure someone else with one of these machines will let you know if they thought they were good or bad. [/QUOTE]
