Brokers tend to tell you whatever you want to hear, although there are some really good brokers out there. The problem is figuring out if the broker you are working with is one of the good ones. 2000 hours on a gas engine is high. That isn’t to say they are done, just high hours. It would depend on how they were run and how they were maintained. Those things are difficult if not impossible to find out. Ask the owner and they were not run hard and they were maintained very well. So you get a good mechanic to do a survey on them and hope for the best. Even then the mechanic may not find a problem that will bite you in the butt 2 hours after you take possession. It is a bit of a crap shoot. Good luck.
