Secondhand: grades and payment

The grade sets the outlay and the page count tells you the wear, and you get both in writing. A rental or lease can run up to 60 months, limited by the machine's age, and delivery, network connection, scanning set up and a hands on run through for staff are included.

Bought outright without a service agreement, the warranty depends on the machine, and we tell you what it is in writing before the sale. Add a service agreement and a failed machine is replaced at any point in the term. The rental figure on selected machines starts from $15 a week plus GST, provided finance is approved.

Four checks before buying secondhand

• The meter reading. Pages printed so far, in writing. That number beats the build year as a guide to wear.
• What comes with it. Extra trays, a finisher, a big paper deck: each one alters the work it can take and the figure on the quote.
• Who looks after it. We do not sell a machine we cannot service, because a copier nobody can fix is no bargain.
• Running cost. Get the mono and colour rates per page in writing, plus what each rate covers.
