Going to look at a used T6, what should I consider?

First time post here. I've reviewed the stove discussions on the Alderlea T6 and the Jotul F600.
I've been planning to buy for a few years but had not narrowed down the choice until lately.
The choice is swayed a bit from the offer that a friend made.
He had purchased a T6 about 3 years ago and burned it for 1.5 winters before converting to an indoor wood furnace arrangement.
He stated that he knows of nothing wrong with the stove it just didn't meet his expectation/needs for the particular application.

I'm going to run over in the next couple weeks and take a look but wanted to ask those with experience with these stoves
some of the specifics that i need to check to make sure that it's in as new shape.

Please throw out ideas. This will be my first wood stove, I did grow up with wood heat and I was the fire starter stove stoker.
I have familiarity but am a bit more than rusty so I'll be scouring the topics in the forums.

Also, do you think the price a good one? It was offered at 1700$ with the blower feature. Compared to new, this is a good bit below
price based on 2500 Retail (free blower before 9/30/11) when considering taxes and the 10% rebate.

Thanks a bunch for reading my post. Looking forward to the voices of experience!

Thanks fella's. I'll try to take a look next week and snap a few pics.

From what I understand, he converted to a different system due to the style of house not being as compatible with convection/radiant.

I'll welcome the opinions fellas.
Thanks for looking and assessing this unit.
I was able to get a face to face with the stove and confirmed that it is a T6.
The only flaw that I saw was a broken fire brick in the back.
I've posted some pictures and will try to add another post with a couple more pics.

Big thanks to all,
lc

One more pic to come.

I hope that I showed all the critical areas in the pictures.

From the creosote built up on the top of the fire box I believe that the wood burned was not well seasoned.
The stove was not performing to expectations in heating the basement and then getting heat up to the living area.

Externally the unit looks to be in fine shape. Seals on the doors were in good shape. The one fire brick in the back on the right was cracked.
I hope that the pics show what you need to help identify condition.

Please shoot questions my way. I may have seen more than registered and a good question might help me remember more of what is there.
