So I ended up buying the Gen 2 Performer for $80 canadian dollars (approx $60usd).
It was located only 15minutes from work, and the lady agreed to meet me at the end of my work day. The reason she couldn't send me more photos is because she had moved after selling her house, and this was one of the last remaining items at the house that needed to be moved.
Anyway, back to the grill. It's a black 2008 vintage. Overall, it was in good condition for its age. She didn't have it covered, but it was stored under a covered patio its entire life. It was supposedly only used 1-2 times per year, and the condition seems to match the story.
The wheels look as if they havent rolled very far. The main grate had no rust, while the charcoal grate and baskets did have some. The inside still had ashes and crud, but it was far from being considered nasty. The sweeps didn't look rusted, but they were seized by the crud from the last cook. The ash catcher pan looked ok, but the handle had surface rust. The frame was in pretty good shape, but due to its age there was a tiny bit of surface rust under the table. The table looked pretty decent. It had a small scrach but no stains. The bottom wire rack wasnt rusty. Oh and the Touch and Go ignition worked on the first try.
Here's a photo from the ad. I'll have to take some more before/after shots once the weather improves. I expect this one to clean up very nicely.
