I'll answer by saying I have one of the pre-order K-1's and no need for the warranty.
However, what you really want (I think) is a statistical answer of what percentage of K-1's have needed warranty work. Only Ricoh knows that and they are not going to say. Asking the question here will get you some answers but they will be no real indication of how any particular K-1 is going to hold up.
K-1 new in the US is $1,700 and K-1II is $2,000 at B&H. I would guess the ratio is about the same elsewhere. So the choice should not be between a used K-1 and a new K-1II but new versus new. Unless you goal is to buy at the lowest possible price in which the answer is easy: get a used K-1. :)
