My thought too. Used ones with plenty of life are all over eBay. I like the security of knowing that I have more than a snowball's chance of fixing the gen if it breaks down---mine is a Shindaiwa that is about as complicated as an OM616. But you have to live in a place where it is legal to have a big tank of diesel sitting around, and make sure that it's OK with your homeowner's insurance. I know mine (Safeco) is OK with "a reasonable amount given what is typical for the location of the property," which according to my agent means since I live in farm country I can have an 80 gallon drum (since my neighbors all store that much or more to keep their tractors going).
