You have to give name of the model.
I think that 6300hours isn't a lot, but you have to find out in what environment this machine was working.
From you description you want to buy something like Sumitomo S160. I think that you shouldn't buy the first machine available and look for it a little more, get to know with the market. Here you will find some used excavators, and search "sumimoto". Check if this guy want's good price.
Good luck.
