I'd have him start with an empty tank and have it go to full PSI then shut off, then i'd run a tool and make it function on and off... Offer him $400 and use the savings for some good soft rubber airlines and a dryer setup.

Good to know! Does anyone know if off the top of their head if the warranties that IR have with their compressors and what TSC offers on top of them are transferrable if sold?

Last question on this, as I'm gonna pass on the craigslist offer as the guy didn't seem to trustworthy. Tractor Supply has a 3 year guarantee option for the compressor at $140. Covers everything parts wise. IR states that with their start up kit they extend their manufacture warranty from 1 year to two years just buy buying the start up kit for $80.

So

2 years = $80
3 years = $140

My question is, with TSC guarantee does that provide the start up kit with it? If it doesn't, I would still have to spend the $80 to buy the oil and filters regardless plus the $140 for the guarantee. Leaving me now at $220 for 3 years? Is my math correct, or am I missing something?
