Ah, yes, another helpful home tip.

There are only two reasons why people replace a dishwasher:
1. It's sick/not working right/DOA
2. Better half has ordered a kitchen redo

That being the case, unless you see *major* kitchen refurbishing going on,
walk away from the dishwasher ;-)

Unless you are buying it from a friend you can trust.
Or where you know its not been abused.
e.g. a builder who installed a new one, but the buyers wanted an upgrade, so
it's not "new" but never used with a full warranty.

Or simply don't care
e.g. it's for a rental unit where the tenants likely will destroy it anyway

I would stick to new ones, for the bit you might save.
There is not much to break but they can still be expensive to repair

Bad gasket. Other parts are not easily found out until it is hooked up and
running. If it is more than 5 years old, it could be crap if it is a
cheaper brand.
