I'm in the market for a Mak and wanted to hear if anyone has bought one recently from AIM. Their site isn't giving a whole lot of detail on the expected condition, importer etc etc. Any inside info would be appreciated! |

Anywhere else I should be looking? Edit: went ahead with a purchase through AIM. Please let us know how it looks. |
