Bridge crack effect on price of a D42

[Ares]

I am considering buying a 2005 D42 that I tried, which while it has the deadest strings I ve ever seen (they ve turned white somehow) is remarkably loud and resonant.
The guitar has a thin crack in the bridge that involves all 6 holes. How much would you require the seller to cut off the price to make the deal?

Call whoever you would have do the work and see what they would charge.
Subtract that and you are good to go.

That's exactly what I'd have said.

I would add a few hundred to the quote for the downtime and hassle to get it fixed. Otherwise just buy one without the issue.

Saddle looks like it is leaning forward, so replacement is in order. The inlay will add to the cost. Negotiate a fair deal or move on. D 42 is worth some effort.

That looks like it might just be compensation not the saddle leaning forward.

There is one on eBay, a 1997, with almost exactly the same defect. Asking $5K.

It would depend if they already taking the cost of repair/replace into consideration of the selling price.

Those pins are leaning forward alot. Stress.
