Some dealers will check them out and service, while others don't touch them. I think the thought is; we don't want to find problems that we might have to explain or repair. That doesn't mean there are problems, just they are not looking. I also know some dealers that sell so many used that they are just in and out the door and don't have to bother. As far as a red flag.........maybe a yellow. The big deal as I said before is parts and service. If any machines you are looking at have service or parts potential problems I wouldn't take it regardless.....been there, done that. For the amount of money you are now talking you should be able to get a reasonably good machine of any make. Try talking to a couple of business people who use quite a few of the machines and find out what is working for them and what to avoid. I bet a couple of phone calls would help with your decision. Most business owners if you can get them on the phone would probably give you a minute or two and their opinion, if you have the questions  pre-planed ahead of time to ask. This is a big investment and a little help locally wouldn't hurt.</p></blockquote><p></p>
