What do you think about acquiring a reconditioned used C751ex equipment?

[reglanet]

What do they think if they were particular users in buying a used Rich C751EX?
Is this good? Is it a very old machine?
I clarify this for a user who has a low monthly production, far from a technical service (400 km) a place where there is no competition in this type of machines.
This user does not get to buy a Ricoh C9100 and wants to start with some equipment of similar characteristics in terms of capacity and quality of printing, registration, duplex, etc.
According to the distributor, these machines supposedly enter the country (Argentina) of export and the same distributor is responsible for choosing them in the USA.
Are they very old machines? Can you walk for a while? What should I keep in mind when reviewing it?
Otherwise, I would have to go to a new machine, smaller, but with a high cost of copying, bad registration, problems with 300 grs paper, etc.
What opinion can you give me about this?
Thank you

The C751EX needs frequent service, not a very good machine at all. With the customer being far from the servicing location, it's not going to work out very well.

I appreciate your response.
On the other hand I ask you, what kind of frequent attention do you need?
Change of parties? Cleaning? Adjustments?
Do you think basic maintenance I could not do it?
Many years ago I work with offset machines, laser, printing plooter, etc and I always do the maintenance of them, never technical but I understand that this type of machines must have certain complications.
Do you think it is impossible for someone who has certain knowledge and is given tomorrow to solve problems?
Sorry ignorance, but there are people who are very persevering in what we do and try to make things with the few resources we have.

I dont think you are explaining what type of account you want to place this machine.
Most of my accounts in usa are never going to do any work outside os adding paper,toners and
pulling a jam out.
There are a few who are mechanical and will go further.
I use to service copy shops and always kept a "parts machine" at site so
they could run 24 hours if needed and just pull from the parts unit.
You are in a different country and a different way of doing things so
I think if you want an honest answer you need to explain why this account can
handle or will handle more than routine service.

I understand, this machine is not a good idea if a nearby technical service is not available.
Thank you
