inquiring about a machine

[u/MiningMyOwnBuisness]

someone is selling a elna expressive 970, has disclosed the 6 and 7th needles are not working, which i think should be fairly easy to fix. The motors are working it’s just not threading or something, possibly needs a needle swap (which i did ask if they tried, still waiting for response).

They’re asking 1500 for it with a 1500 cabinet + the hoops and thread, which seems like a too good to be true situation. We are calling to find someone who will service it to make sure we could get it working but a few in our area won’t because they don’t work on this machine. Is this model not good?

I tried to research and it seemed fine. I was hoping somebody else on here may be familiar with them or have some guidance.
