Buying used appliances is fine idea assuming of course they are in good shape, and assuming of course that the savings is signifigant. Remember, no warranty will transfer with the purchase, so any repairs will be fully on your tab. Of course, if the appliance is used, it may have out lived it's warranty already. But it's an important point to keep in mind because repairs can be expensive, especially in high end appliances.
Sub Zeros are great - they recently had a major re-deign, so virtually all their refrigerators can achieve the fully inegrated look that made them famous. Previously there was a distiction between a paneled, cool 'Built-In look' and the totally dissappearing WAY cool 'fully integrated' look that had only been possible in their smaller 700 series. Now their whole line can copletely disappear behind cabinetry.
Of course they are expensive, and like all appliances, they can have issues. On the other hand, they stand firmly behind their product, and being a market leader, they have a very wide network of local technicians who are familiar with the product, so getting issues resolved is never that difficult.

Wow - great blog and love the pictures. Do you hve any advice for someone who needs new appliances NOW but is hoping to do a kitchen renovation in the next year?
Sorry - just read your comment more closely - you need appliances NOW but want to completely renovate later. That's always tough. Particularly if you want to change things - for example, if you have a range now, but would rather have a cook-top and double oven...or, you have a 30" range today, but want a 48" range after the full renovation.
If that is the case, you might think about buying affordable but good appliances today, and know that you will sell them when you start your renovation. Appliances sell fairly well through classified ads and online sales. Or, you could investigate a few minor alterations that allow you to fit your new prefered applaicne configuration in the existing kitchen. But be careful, those costs add up - new appliance configurations often mean new wiring, cabinet and countertop alterations etc....
If you are comfortable with your configuration, then you should be safe to simply buy new appliances today, and know that you are going to re-use them when the time comes to renovate.
Hope that helps.

How do you feel about buying appliances online through Craigslist . . .I am in the market for new but have heard there are great deals online - slightly used or new. And, what's the skinny on Subzero - the good, bad, and ugly please . . .
