How much would you pay For a second-hand radar - friend just phoned me,

has been offered a second hand Furuno 1623 all the bits, which has 1 year or so warranty left and is as new when a new one is £750 or a bit less.

Has anyone installed one themselves and any problems please

 

[MoodySabre]

£400 perhaps £500 - it's a good make.

Don't see why installation should be a problem - I've not done it but know people who have.

 

[simonfraser]

half the new price, unless you are absulutely sure you have all the parts / templates orrigional wires etc and there is no damage

 

[tangomoon]

Friend says thanks to you Moody and to Simon - she thought she was being too hard on the seller TY

 

[PCUK]

Half the new cost is the general rule for secondhand gear in tip-top condition, not worth taking the risk otherwise.

 

[macnorton]

The rule of thumb is SH is worth 33% of new, but if the waranty is good go to 50% max. otherwise buy new.

Fitting is usually no problem.

Thanks to all they thought they were being stingy

 

[tangomoon]

And why is that do you think
