I bought one just like that one maybe even a little better shape with a working hoist this past fall for 1200$.
Sold it a week latter for 1500$, but had to haul it about 300 miles.
I pretty much broke even, had a fun time doing it and it went to a great young family.

You should be able to get your money back, maybe even a little more out east. Then get something that will suit you better.
