Hi Eric, I guess I'd want to know why it was loose, it could have broken parts requiring repairs increasing the total cost to more than the cost of a new one. I can't advise you with so little information, but if it was me, I'd stay clear of it but that's just me. Dan's is a reputable dealer, but as the eBay slogan says buyer beware
