I have a concept 2 model A , built in 1986. I purchased it 20 years ago at a garage sale. The mechanical speedometer broke - I replaced it with a bicycle computer. The chain has broken twice. You can still order parts for my rower from their website. I use it several times a week and row on the water (single scull) April to November. When I retired, my wife wanted to buy me a brand new machine. I don't need it. These things last a long time. I considered buying a new computer attachment - maybe one day.
A few comments:
This seems like a good price.
The machine really is big - make sure you have the room.
Buy a second hand c2 rather than another less expensive brand if trying to save money.
The comment that it can be difficult to row with a big belly is accurate - I have had one and when I am thinner it makes a big difference.
Get some expert coaching because form is critical if you are doing it everyday. I have over use injuries that can be traced back to poor form. By expert coaching I mean go to a boat club. For example. I took the introductory erg sessions at The Leander Boat Club in Hamilton for $20.
