R6 fair price

I have the opportunity to buy my first Leica: a used R6 body on which I will put a new Summicron lens. The body is fully functional and in general good shape. The seller is asking 800 Euros, and includes a motor winder with grip for this price. Is this a good deal price-wise?
Thanks for any tips.
 
Hello there,

800 Euros is a little on the high side for an R6, especially when you can get an R8 for 1050.00 US.

Dear Stijn,

I have just bought an R6 with a Summicron 50mm F2 for £600 (850 euros) from a dealer I know very well who was selling it as a commission sale. Price had been reduced by about 250 euros. I would say that 800 euros is a fair price in the UK but that would be with a 12 month guarantee. worth having as I understand Leicas are not cheap to service. Certainly worth putting a test film through first before your buy to check everything works correctly. My advice would be that if you have any doubts, don't buy, as in my experince of buying a lot of kit secondhand, the right one will turn up.

Regards

Chris

Steve,
the R6 use the same kind of battery than the M6:
2L76, 3Volts, for ex&le from the Energizer.
You have made a good choice, the R6 is very nice.
