You would need to share all the facts before any 3 rd party could give you an informed opinion. Cost vs new. Warrantee. Etc

The company's rep told me that it was the ownership that tells him to sell used machines as demos. He does not like doing it but obviously complies with company policy. Cost? It changes from day to day. Initially we where quoted $15,100. Then we received and invoice for 17,900. Then updated to $17k. The company rep said he was willing to renegotiate price if we keep it. I think they are willing to take it back and charge a season lease fee of $1,500. It's a bummer that I paid to have it shipped here which wasn't cheap either.

If floating prices are their company's M.O., that may also be how they got to call it a "Demo" too. Too many buyers got handed an invoice considerably above the agreed upon price. Now possibly, if the price difference was in the exchange rate between Canada and the US that could explain the change somewhat. Checking the exchange rate from yesterday, $17900 Canadian would only be $14553 U.S. That is a big part of the bulk price of syrup right now. Quebec sets the price and this year the exchange rate brings it way down this year.
Did anyone explain what happened to the $15,100?

I don't think I would be giving this dealer any more of My business.If they ever call you back tell them your demoing another RO for the next few years and that you'll get back to them.

I have decided to return the RO. The same company sent me this tank and said this kind of buckling is normal. I am not so sure but would really like to hear if anyone else has a tank that does this.
