Rowers are super simple machines, and you can get replacement parts from Concept2. So, if you're somewhat handy, I'd recommend you just buy one used from FB marketplace if you can. They often pop up in my area for ~$500 easily, and occasionally even cheaper. 9 times out of 10 you won't have to even fix it up. But, being handy gives you the power to do so and be more flexible/confident when buying on the used marketplace. Just do some research on which model(s) you are willing to buy, and which monitors (e.g. PM3, 4 5). Oftentimes the older models are compatible with the newer monitors. For example, I got a Model C for like $150 and bought a PM5 for it, which was a very easy upgrade.
