[QUOTE="Guest, post: 65759"] Ismael Jones repairs these if they need a repair. Ismael is an experienced technician. This is why I modded mine, Ismael will first test the unit. If its a lemon he will tell you otherwise he will mod it. You then can switch on or off any of the mods. 2 people have already purchased a modded gp 3500 via ebay and they paid about $3300 each. There are knockers out there for just about everything. This all comes down to price. If my GP was to blow up and be a write off it won't worry me because I paid only $2100 for the unit minus the 3 coils which are worth say $800. If I was to hire a 5000 I am limited for time and 10 outings could cost me $800. So the story here is to put everything into perspective. Its plain and simple. You buy a new machine depending on price you will lose $250 to a $1000 plus once 12 months or so goes by and once a new model is introduced. I learnt this the hard way. I would be more worried and concerned to out lay $6500 for a 5000 which is top dollar and as time goes by and new model is introduced be prepared to lose $1500 - $2000. If your a pro this won't matter if your a weekend warrior and you go out 6 times a year then its a different thing altogether. My motto is simple. Each to their own. [/QUOTE]
