Hi, all,
I'm thinking about getting a riding lawn mower to help with my ~0.6 acre lawn. After reading a bunch of internet reviews, I'm thinking about getting a John Deere L110 although it's a little pricier than I was originally intending ($1500 max, original limit).
I'm wondering a couple of things:
- Will I will be able to get a much better deal than the list price if I wait until the end of the season?
- Should I be considering used mowers? And if so, any tips on how to get a good deal? There are so many models/options available out there, I feel no confidence in being able to accurately say how much I should be paying for a used mower. (In particular, last week I saw a ~1987 Honda HT 3813, 2 cylinder, liquid cooled, with bagger attachment, at a garage sale for 0. No idea how many HP or what the cutting diameter was. Seemed to my amateur eye to be in good condition. It may still be available, for that matter--would it be a good deal.)
Thanks for any help,
John
