Since your budget is around $ 6 k, you could buy it for $ 3k & plan on spending the other half on it as required.
Maybe somebody from the LA area will chime in here ?
Worst case scenario, you could hire our moderator ( Gilly ), have him check it out, and if it doesn't work out, sue the pants off of him.
I don't know anything about this particular model, sorry.
