Question Buying a CNC Turning Center. Any suggestions on a model?

I am looking at buying a CNC turning center. I am located in Idaho, so if you sell around the area, let me know. I am just starting my search and want to know what I should be looking for in a CNC. I would greatly appreciate any tips on what specs I should be watching for or if you have a model that you can suggest. I had one several years ago with which I had to manually input every line of code to run, which was too time consuming (I have several other machines I can run much smoother, including a waterjet and others). I want a turning center that can load a cad drawing (or w/e program) and automatically set up the cut (will still need fine tuning, sure, but let it do the bulk). If you are familiar with turning centers and know of one or know that one doesn't exist, please drop a comment.

Appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks,

Cody Lindsay
