Hi Dale,
Mr. rightway is offering very sound advice. While it is "possible" to get a lathe "with everything" for $1500 - it is not very realistic. Perhaps, if you are in just the right place at the right time and everything works out - the same applies to winning a lottery. Keep doing your research, get your space, transport and power issues sorted. Learn your local market, look at some machines, find out what they go for. Save your money - when the right machine comes along, be prepared to move fast. Also, don't focus too much on the price, focus on what you want/need - and then pay for it.
