If it works, then I'd snatch it before anyone else does. I can't imagine what could be that wrong? I'm sure you would see it if it was that bad.

A 3-year-old stove for $675. Run, do not walk, with the cash in your
Hand, you will never find one like that again. In my twenty years of
stove repair, I only ever got a deal like that once and only because a
competitor told the customer it needed a control board. When I went
to see it, he had it for sale. I looked it over and knew immediately what
the problem was. The stove was a 4-year-old Envrio XXV . Handed
him the cash $500. We got the stove and all the chimney pipe. Got it
home, cleaned it reset the overheat switch and sold the unit for 2800$

WHAT JONEH said X 100…I lucked out June 2020 I snagged a 2 year old Harman P61-A for $200 from an electrical engineer that told me he just couldn’t keep it running. I’ll post my refurbish thread

Found a Harman P61 on Kijiji, guy said it had some issues, went and picked it up yesterday...what a find! Fuse in the board was blown, replaced it and all the lights came on and ran fine in test mode. It was full of creosote, so must’ve ran low for a longtime was what I was thinking...Fired it up and the flame was a bit lazy...lots of smoke, and I could hear a whistle...checked the air intake and the flapper was jammed closed, once opened it ran like it should. It came with all piping except appliance Adaptor, I think that was one of the other problems as well. Also one of those novel...

As @ARC said, a 3 year old Harman can't possibly have enough wrong with it that it WOULDN'T be worth $675. Seriously, unless they somehow punched holes into the body of the heavy steel enclosure, that is the find of the century.
