Was this a wise decision?

Hello

I purchased a 2 group semi LM Linea (made in 2005) in an incredible good condition (almost like new) for around 4.5K . It was used very little - for no more than a year- and then carefully stored. The seller is a reputable merchant in second hand espresso machines and offers 6 months guaranty in addition to the fact that the machine will be fully serviced before delivery. The LM has not been PID'd and has no gicleurs.

 

The 4.5K paid for the Linea was more or less the same as I would have paid for my other two short listed machines (both brand new with 1 year guaranty): 2 group semi La Combali M22 Premium or a NS 2 group semi appia. 

 

In Mexico I don't have many more options apart from cheaper San Remos, Pavonis, Expobar and other brandless (which I didn't like anyway), so let's focus in the above options.

 

As you know a brand new LM Linea is close to 9K, but still I don't know if I should have gone for a new machine.

 

Your comments will be appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Antonio
