BAP and Brendawg, Craigslist is your friend. Search it often, the best deals may only appear for a few HOURS.....
I picked up my L3710 with over $2500 in recent maintenance and repairs in good mechanical condition for $8800. I also picked up my 2002 Takeuchi TB125 with thumb, newer tracks, and two buckets for $7500. Both deals had to be jumped on with CASH immediately.
I drove from CT to North Conway NH to grab my 3710....less than 12 hours after it was posted. I feel I got an awesome deal, but I had to get the cash and get to the machine faster than anyone else. Luckily the seller honored me calling first and let me drive up as quickly as I could the next day. He said literally a dozen people called the morning after I had spoken with him.
The deals do exist, and they exist everywhere in the country. You just need to be the "early bird" to get them....don't think that looking at equipment trader or glancing at Craigslist every few days or weeks is going to net you the smoking deals.
The key is having available cash, tow rig, and time. If you can get cash, take time off of work, and jump in your rig and pick it up...you can save yourself thousands....
