Buy Heidelberg XL 106-8?

Hello.
My company wants buy Heidelberg XL 106-8 from second hand, maschine have 200 milion impression and model year is 2017.
Price is 1.5 milion euro.
(New cost 3 milion euro.)
Will it be ok to buy second hand?
We are print just book produktion.
Thanks

 

Is it worth to buy a second hand car? The same year and mileage - one is in perfect condition, other one is wrecked. Here is your answer.

 

If most of your printings are low thickness paper, I strongly recommend a new SX102-8+P.
Their are two major points. First, you will feel ill when you want to change your perfect jackets at XL106-8+P5, their are 8 jackets with a large amount of money.
Second, you will pay almost the same price of the second hand machine and buy a brand new machine.
Good luck

 

Hi sir

Concerning the XL 106 machine it is robust and it is the most technological range of Heidelberg machines, but you should know that the XL 106 is designed specifically for cardboard printing, as long as you have a notebook and book market I do not advise you not to invest in it, and then the number of print runs 200 million in a period of 6 years then it seems that the machine had worked in two shifts, and as you know if several drivers work in the same machine in shift and the maintenance is not done well it risks having technical problems and degradation of the machine, you must also ensure that the machine has been well maintained by requesting the maintenance registration documents and by carrying out a technical inspection on all the components of the machine. machine
