Guy says its a 95-99 model, has been used for light projects in the past few years, stored inside during winter and it goes to the dealer annually for service. He's asking $8000 and it looks decent. Anything to watch on these? I've heard the controls can and do fail as well as the security system, a friend had one at his work, all sorts of electrical problems. Had to have the dealer punch the master code in at one point because they got locked out. That part makes me nervous, as my 743 is very simple and reliable. My 743 is actually apart getting painted right now. The only reason I'm considering it is, its a deal and 743's still bring $6000 around here so I could upgrade for not much $$. Any thoughts? Whats the "G" and "F" models? If its key start and foot controls I'll probably grab it. Thanks guys.</p></blockquote><p></p>
