Any appliance with a proven rodent infestation would AT LEAST be priced as a half-life used appliance, in my book. I'd personally not be willing to pay more than 1/4 original price, and that's ONLY if I had an opportunity to make sure parts were still available and I'd inspected the entire guts for problems. You will have to clean it from stem to stern to make sure there is no combustible material anywhere in the interior where it should not be, and that no wires or such have been damaged. There is quite a bit of risk to this "new" appliance. Not to mention the theoretical possibility of hanta virus being aerosolized upon heat-up, eventually.

I would avoid purchasing this range top for the reasons stated above me.

" found from Wolf is that it was the last year that they made the range before being bought by Sub Zero and it is pretty much the same as the wolf RT 366 model."
Not necessarily the same...
I was selling Sub zero/ Wolf for some time shortly after they came out. It took a few years for them to come on market after Sub bought the "rights" to residential Wolf. My understanding was that they completely redesign ed the valves and ports (and upgraded the fir, finish and warranty)

thank you!, you think $750. is fair? that leaves some wiggle room to replace wires and igniters. all 6 burners are open top and full 16,000 BTU down to 500, which I prefer over the new sealed burner top. I should be able to hook it up to propane and at least get a flame going even if it is not optimal

The nozzles for gas and propane are different. You can't just hook up a gas stove to propane. It could, however, be tremendously exciting and could make an excellent Youtube video. I'd get back 100 feet and zoom in.

The Wolf rangetop is tempting, but definitely do your homework before offering $750. Mice can do lots of damage and I would be hesitant with any type of infestation. And the smell that may be produced when it is turned on. We had mice in our pantry 3x in as many months. I washed the walls and everything in it from top to bottom - still smell the urine.

Contact a Wolf appliance repair shop for their opinion. I have found they are always willing to help.

I had a gorgeous old gas range at our log cabin years ago. It didn't cost me much to convert the jets to propane. I used it happily for a few years but we were still slowly building the cabin and somehow mice got in under the temporary back door we were using. They nested in the stove and when we went out for Thanksgiving and I fired up the oven to make my pumpkin pies, I literally cried. The smell was putrid. DH tore all the panelling off and discarded all the insulation and cleaned it as best he could. But we could never totally get rid of the smell when the oven was hot and knowing what had been in there, I finally got rid of it.
