An old lady is selling this on the local Craigslist . She is asking $325 . How much would be a fair price to pay for this vac ? It does come with extra bags , all attachments , side kick and tested it out and it is a clean machine , |

$325 isn't a bad price considering it was $1500 new a few years ago. I'd pay it if I were looking for a legacy, or close to it anyway. It's a great vacuum with all attachments and in great shape from the pictures.

The vac says it's about 4 to 5 years old. . It is a very clean vacuum and appears to have light use. I easy thinking of offering her $200 cash, I'm going to check in with her next week and go from there . :) |

$200 is a good number. Worst that can happen is she says no... more likely to accept or counter to split the difference

Although I only paid $100 for my legacy that is the all white with gray bumper. I think it's newer than this one. They also gave me a Riccar 8955 when I purchased my Lux

Why didnt Aerus call the Epic 7000/Epic 5000/Epic 5500/Epic 9000 instead of Lux? |

From the original owner for Twenty dollars ($20) It came with a 1 year supply of bags and filters , mini PN and original hassock for storing. It did need a $25 part for the hose .

Brad, that's a really nice Electrolux Renaissance you found there! Looks to be well cared for, & genuine bags used. I would bet this person upgraded after owning another model for several years, that would explain the hassock. One little thing I would caution you on though....when you can afford it in the near future, it might be smart to invest in a set of gray wands, especially if you can still get them new, & get a schematic for the hose handle & stock up on spare parts for it. The electronic controls on the hose were always a problem on the Renny, & ultimately why they switched to toggles by the time the Guardian was introduced. The Renny hose is now discontinued, & apparently from what I have found out is that a Aerus dealer would have to order all parts individually & assemble them himself to make a complete hose. So get in there & get those parts to keep your Lux in top shape.
On a side note....I hope to get one myself someday. Back when I was a teenager just out of high school, the local dealer in Barrie, Ontario, was showing off the Renny at a fair at my local mall, & I fell in love with it instantly! Just everything about it....the color, handle controls, wands, just seemed so sophisticated to use. I only wish I had money saved up back then :( Rob |

Yes I agree with that. I had mine looked at by Aerus & they told me the handles & control unit had already been rebuilt so I didn't have to worry about that & also some useful info she told me as not to drop the electronic control part as that's what makes them go bad, well that's what she told me. I couldn't find any dark colour wands but I did get the lighter coloured ones.
