Hello guys,

I'm looking to pick up a new 13" MBP to replace my old machine that I passed down.

I was initially looking for custom order a Late 2016 13" MBP to my spec. However, after reading the reviews on the machine, new features and pricing. I figured find a new Early 2015 model might be the better route for myself.

Anyways, I though no better place to ask then here about pricing out an older machine since there is no real guide for older computers.

I found a factory sealed Early 2015 MacBook Pro 13"

3.1 GHz i7/16GB/256 SSD

$1500 total.

I have no idea what this setup would have cost new. I'm assuming close to $1800?

Would you guy recommend this machine at that cost?

Yes!
Also upgradable SSD (when out of warranty)
I would 100% recommend AppleCare
 
Looks like a good price to me. Over here in Canada that machine would retail for $2000+ Canadian.

What would original retail be on a rMBP 13" with these options?
 
I think you'll be very happy. I just bought the early 2015 model with slightly lower specs, the MF839LL/A.
2.7 core i5, 8gb ram, and 128gb ssd. I got it through B&H for $1099 (new), no shipping or sales tax, and parallels 12 was included. So you're paying $400 above that and getting twice the ram, twice the storage, and a faster processor. The storage is especially helpful - I'm kicking myself for not going with 256, but the one I bought wasn't customizable, so it was a take it or leave it deal, and I took it. I'm still thrilled with the machine :)
