Linn LP12's are an excellent buy used IF you have a dealer or tech in your area to get it serviced and set up. If you don't, I'd recommend something like a Rega P 5.
But mind you if you do have a Linn dealer in your area, I think 2k into a used LP12 gets you an awful lot of turntable - much, much better to my ears than what you would get at this price new from Rega (which I still think is a great company).
