If you will tell me online or in a PM what city you live in, I might be able to find more options for a machine as well. Also, remember your primary physician can prescribe CPAP equipment based on his interview or opinion of your son's condition, without a sleep test. It won't work with insurance, but it will work. Also several online providers provide a reasonable prescription service. Supplier #30 has services for as little as $99 based on a questionnaire, to $300 with a complete home sleep test. This can establish a valid prescription you can use pretty much anywhere.
Finally, SecondwindCPAP offers a gently used Resmed S9 Elite for $299 and an Autoset for $379. Either machine would have full support and warranty from a legitimate supplier. The owner is a respiratory therapist and may be able to suggest a way to reasonably obtain a prescription. See Supplier #2. The S9 Autoset would have the advantage of automatically adjusting to the pressure needs of your son, provides full data and is worth the extra money.
