used Avant loader

[daveindales]

I have the chance to buy a used avant 420 loader. Its a 2013 model. Done 2000 hours, and is a bit rough looking, with a couple of cracked panels. Has anyone a rough price for what its worth and what to look for as far as wear and tear? It comes with no attachments.

I recently did a residental job for an independend  evaluator for construction machinery. 

While discussing about equipment, we came to small articulated loaders. 

He strongly adviced me to stay away from anything young aged with more than1500 hrs, as these wee machines had their best times after that and serious trouble is not far away now (engine, hydro drive and pumps). 

Not sure how true this is, but he was doing a very good living estimating machinery all day long and seemed very experienced to me.

Not a true pricing for you but valuable advice maybe.
