My first impression, having just sold my Getaway is that 5k seems like a lot for a Getaway of that age that was used as a rental. If you can get it for less and do buy it, first check the mast track on the comptip and the bond between the comptip and the aluminum extrusion to ensure it is ok as that can be expensive to fix. Check the condition of the sails too. If they are original they are probably in rough shape from being used every day. Standing rigging could be due for replacement too. Check sheets, travellers, blocks and halyards for jury-rigged fixes... I've seen a few on rentals in the islands.

Thank you very much for your input, much appreciated. I'm currently waiting for a decent day, one which includes above a 10 mph wind, to take it out for a test. Unfortunately I am unsure about the "mast track on the comptip and the bond between the comptip and the aluminum extrusion" advice. However I will research it.
