I'm considering buying a 2nd hand machine to replace my Pfaff 213 but am wondering if accessories are readily available and how old it is?
To old to get parts for it,

Depends on how well it was taken care of.
It is easy to get parts for and work on, so you could keep it running probably as long as you cared to.
The weakest link in cars are the automatic transmissions, so you don't have to worry about that.
The engine is probably going to get tired around 220k miles, but even that can easily be replaced with a salvage one for about $1500.
At least you know the clutch should be good for another 160k.
Brakes last about every 90k, and cost about $250.
CV joints and axles go about every 150K and cost about $300.
It depends on finding good mechanics that you trust more than anything else.
