[QUOTE="siduramaxde, post: 3133, member: 248"] I would not buy this machine because it will cost more to fix than the machine is worth. You could do what I did. The first bobcat I bought was a 1998 863 with about 2000 hrs. on it and I paid $12,500. I kept the machine for 2 years and put about 250 hours on it and then sold it for $12,000. So I got the use of the machine for 2 years and it only cost me $500 plus fuel. Durring the time I had the machine I never had to replace any parts, I only had to work on it once and that was to tighten a hose. So if I were you I would look for a machine that is about 5-7 years old and have about 1700-2000 hrs. and is in good mechanical shape. You should be able to do about the same thing I did. Good luck.
