Demo pro 53 LK
Where do you draw the line between a demo and a used piece of machinery. i purchased a demo etesia pro 53 LK (sight unseen) through a reputable dealer and have been looking forward to collecting it and putting it to work. However when i went to collect it earlier, it certainly had been demo'd. worn bag, stiff height adjusters and a deck that had met a few to many stones for a walk around the park. At less than 20% off the list price, the bargain quickly lost its shine and i came home empty handed. From what i read here they are really good and my new pro 46 is excellent. What condition should i expect from a demo and with a list price of 2640 vat incl, is £2140 too much. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Much respect and thanks to you guys who responded and confirmed my gut feeling. Earlier I got the price reduced from £2140 (vat Incl) to £1800 with a 6 month warranty. i have the machine on trial and cant wait to check it out tommorrow. It is a serious piece of kit.

Hi Chris, Cyrill Johnstons came up trumps in the end when we agreed a price for the very well demo'd mower. Ran it about on a few sites today and it is better than i had expected. I bought a new pro 46 from them earlier and am looking forward to seeing how their after sales service stands up. If it matches Reggie Moores down the road, I'll be happy. Hope business is good your way!!
