Hi
I badly need to replace my single gas oven and countertop hob.
I've been offered one thats a year old (out of warranty of course!), a New World make.
Asking price is €400 for the oven and probably another €100 for the hob.

I've checked online and the oven retails new at €649 and hob €199. Not sure if this includes VAT.

í checked with my gas guy and he'd charge €100 to install it - I'll have to pay this anyway even if I buy new.

To those in the know about gas ovens etc - is this a wise move? I can prob get the oven and hob for €400 if I bargain, and money is very tight, really can't afford the new one, so this is a cheaper option.

He's selling it cos they're getting a bigger oven & redoing the whole kitchen.

Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.
