I have been reading all of the threads on "what is the best to buy", but my question is; How should I say no to the hour meter in negotiating the sale price? When should I say no to the amount of hours, if at all?
Essentially I found a Cat 303 for sale with over 4200 hours on it. I haven't driven it yet and critically looked at it, but I did do a walk around visual inspection. At a quick look it looked OK, but the bucket cylinder has a severely leaking seal and the bucket basically swings freely. I don't mind a minimal repair, but the hours.......
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
