Hi,
I am a newbie here / first-time buyer of MBP and am planning to get a used, late-2013 Retina Macbook Pro from Craigslist with the following specs -
15" screen
Intel Core i7, Processor 2.3 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.5 GHz)
16 GB RAM
512 GB SSD Flash Drive
Nvidia GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 Memory.
The device also has extended Apple Care (it has 2 more years left on it) which is a good thing. The seller claims the device is in excellent condition with no dents.
Do you think $2050 is a fair price to pay for it?
My plan is to use this MBP for another year and eventually upgrade to new rMBPs with Broadwell chips. If i hold on to it for 1 more year and sell it Q4 2015, how much would be a fair price to expect when selling (assuming its still in good condition)? Do you think this is a good approach since i need a powerful rMBP now and can't wait for another year?
Any tips would be helpful since this is my first MBP purchase and I may be missing something. Thanks in advance for your inputs.
