So like the title says, im newish, to welding. I have read more tutorials and info on welding and would just like to get an opinion on whether this would be a decent welder for downpipes, manifolds, random fabrication, etc.

Looks good to me. I would rock it!! I would offer him a little less and see if he bites, but thats an ok deal at that price.

It's a good deal with the tank, but it's a little low on power depending on what you want to do. I have to run my 140 WTFO on heavier stuff.
