I had a D700 and it has always been my favourite camera (with the D200 close behind). I am probably going to need a higher resolution than these would offer due to the demands of the agencies I supply to. I also know how well used most of them will be so I would be very cautious about getting either the D700 or D3 without knowing the seller personally.
My local dealer has a very low (under 3,000 shot) D800 but its a little more than I am comfortable spending used. Even low mileage you never know whats happened to them or if they low because there is an issue. I have only ever had problems with two cameras actually packing up mid shoot, and both were bought used. Both ended up being scrapped because they weren't financially viable to fix. I am now super cautious about buying without a manufacturers warranty.
The D800 and the D600 both have well known issues, which makes me more concerned. Especially as the D800 has such a low use and is quite, for what it is, cheap.
But I am also concerned about buying a new D750 as these seem to be subject to three separate recalls now. I am worried that Nikon's quality control is definitely NOT what it was when the D700/D3s came out. First the D600, then the D800 both had problems and were replaced swiftly by the Dx10 versions.
