Subject: M6 $1400 -- good deal?

I have a chance to buy a used chrome M6 locally for $1400.  The owner
claims that it has only been used twice and that it is
indistinguishable from new.  It is 1.5 years old and still has 1.5
years on the passport warranty.  Does this sound like a good deal?

They also have a same-age 35mm Summicron for $700.

I'm going to look at it tonite so any quick comments would be
appreciated.   To me, it sounds like a great price for someone like me
who has wanted an M6 for a while but couldn't afford new prices.

Anything problems I should look for in particular?  Should I assume
that any problems I do find can be fixed under warranty?

Thanks,
