Smithy 1700 cnc

Greetings all. I've been lurking soaking up info long enough now I could
use a little direct input. I have the oportunity to aquire a smithy 1700
cnc 3 in one. The current owner is asking 1600$(claims orignal price was
2600$). It is not a current model(3-4 years old?) but it is in really new
shape. He claims to of only put 3 hours on the machine. He keeps the bed
heavily greased and machine covered when not in use. The orignal factory
grind on the bed ways were very appearentevent through the grease. It seems
the current equivlent model is the entry level granite machine goes for
2495$. It currently does NOT have the cnc acessorys installed so you can
guess what I'm hoping my winter project is going to this year :)

Is this a good price for this machine? If so has any one had any experiance
with this machine using the the factory cnc or otherwise?

Thanks Rob...
