Dead Onan Generator

I have a 2004 Dutch Star 3810 with a 7500 Onan Generator. It wouldn't fire or buzz when I tried to start it. I took it to a generator repair facility and after being charged $900 to remove and diagnose it, I am told it will cost around $9,700 for parts to repair it or around $11,000 to replace it with a new one.
This is way out of my range and I am at a loss as to what to do. I have serviced and exercised it regularly and it last ran in March.
Does anyone know of a reputable place to look for a used, rebuilt one?

You’re clearly getting ripped off. Quit being a sucker and work through the issues objectively. It’s a simple generator not a nuclear reactor. Even when polling the internet like you are now, you need to be at least adjectivally involved and somewhat knowledgeable. Or you’ll continue to get ripped off by choosing to be blissfully unaware.

This assuming your diagnosis of “would t fire or buzz” was not some code for it windowed the block or some other catastrophic failure.
