It’s a shit time to buy a second hand digger, prices are sky high. I sold my 2017 hyundai 1.7t with 1500hrs for 8.5k plus vat at the start of the pandemic as I’d ordered the E19. 
 

Now people want that kind of money for a ropey old 2001 basic model with no expanding tracks!

 

Its exacerbated by stupidly long lead times for new kit.
