Default buying a used pr 600

I am thinking of starting a home based embroidery business and have been looking at the pr 600s. I have a used machine in mind but need a little help from those of you who know machines. It has 718 hours on it with a stitch out of 2201951. It is four years old. Since I know ASOLUTELY NOTHING about this business I was wondering if you could tell me if these numbers should be a concern to me. The asking price is $6000 and inlcudes the stand, hoops, hat hoops, thread and bobbins, 71 floppies. It is local so I wouldnt have to pay shipping. I am weighing it against the pr 600 II. I really don't want to buy new ...
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think 718 hours is a bit too much, how much is a new one for?
If you find a newone at a smaller difference in price. I'd deffinately ask you to buy a new one, as it will give you very better quality as compared to a machine that has already run 2201951 stitches.

You can buy a new one with stand for 7000 in Atlanta.

On Ebay you can find new PR 600 II and Babylock for less than $6K. You might need to buy some additional hoops, but still you'll be better off.

Yeh i would look out for offers like that instead of buying the used machine.
