New or used 60 gallon compressor

[cj58]

I can buy a new 60 Gallon 3 HP Puma Compressor http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Puma-PK6060V-Air-Compressor/p591.html
or a used Eagle 60 Gallon 5 HP Compressor http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Eagle-C5160V1-Air-Compressor/p5492.html for the same price I will be doing some body work, not a lot but some. Witch way should I go.

the eagle would most likely work better doing body work some air powered equipment uses a lot of air, might be a good deal if it isn't too old. I bought two husky 60 gal compressors from home depot for about 800.00 on sale, linked them together for output and have about 21cuft at 90. I rotate run times and have it setup so either one can run or both. even if one breaks down I'll still have air. Just a thought

Puma is real decent. Atlas Copco is another.Buy for the warranty and a close service center. You'll hear me say that a lot.

I would go for the higher HP. I have a 60 gallon 5 hp and I couldn't image going to anything less.

How good is the Eagle 5HP compressor, and how loud is it. http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/Eagle-C516V1-Air-Compressor/p5492.html

If you're gonna pay the same price I'd buy the used 18cfm compressor all day long.

5 hp compressor

Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy HP, which is about the same
