Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I found a general electric washing machine on eBay, but did end up wanting it,
What do you all think of this one?

Looks like a proper AEG, made in Germany rather than a badged Zanussi. They are good machines but spares are expensive. There is a servo motor mechanism in the soap drawer housing which sometimes gives trouble.

It's way older than 10 years, at least 15 I think.

The dryer is not avalible, how much should I offer, it $200 ?

I've no idea about prices in the land of Oz but in UK a private sale of a machine like that might be around £100 which is just over $150.
