Should I buy used Thiel CS5

Stumbled across a pair of these beasts at a used stereo store. I can get them for 3 grand. The loudspeakers are probably 30 years old. Would you goners grab these for 3 grand or get something new for 3 grand. What new would you recommend for 3 grand?

The price seems high to me . For comparison , I bought a pair of CS7 off craigslist with a matching center channel and a pair of cs2 for $1700 
You should ask this question on the Thiel owners posts which has been running for a few years and seems to get daily activity too .

@maplegrovemusic , you scored one of the all time bargain deals!
The $3K asking price is currently on the low side of typical for CS 5's.

Happy Listening!
