Thinking of buying used Intrepid II - condition?

[dan21m]

Pics below of the stove I'm considering buying. This is to replace a totally rusted out (chimney leaked) Intrepid II that's already installed, so figured it'd be easiest to just replace with the same model.



So what am I looking here in terms of condition? Look like it'll require a bunch of money to get into good operating condition or not?

Anyone? Thanks!

In general, Intrepid 2's are a pain in the neck. Interior parts are expensive, wer out, and can be a challence to replace. The older Intrepids are just a lot simpler and more reliable. If there has been water down the chimney, did it also get to the stove? If it's rusted inside the stove then LEAVE IT ALONE!

Thanks. Yeah - I'm also looking at Encores.
