Vermeer is a solid company that usually stands behind its products and gives good service. I presume this is a used machine, so you need to ask how old, how well maintained, how old are the knives, when last sharpened etc. And obviously check with Vermeer if parts are still available., Can't answer your question about chippers - don't have one and happy I don't.

I'll +1 this comment except for good service (depends on where you are). There should be reasonably newish parts for a 1250 around, I think that model got the can for the BC1200XL though.
