Guys,
Thanks for your help and patience. I finally bought a Cat 325 CL Excavator in Shanghai, China. It is a tricky place to do business. They actually will switch out serial number plates and even grind off and re-stamp serial numbers on the chassis. It is really tough to find a reputable dealer to work through and you almost have to go there and take a look, especially before they ship your machine. All that said, you can find some bargains there, especially the shipping. They have an abundance of "flat rack" shipping which is really nice for large machines. I paid $59K for this 7000 hour machine with a lot of work done on it. Only $3800 to ship it to Cambodia.
