what would you pay for an 18 year old ride behind lawn mower?

best lawn mower $500 image

a friend of mine is selling a old ride behind lawn mower and i don't know what to pay for it. i have to make an offer.

Answer
Sorry. I disagree. It depends on the machine. I bought a 1969 John Deere with a 10hp Kolher engine. It was, and still is, well maintained and it works better and has fewer problems than my 5 year old Craftsman which seems to need some type of repair every year. I paid $500 for the JD and $1200 for the Craftsman with a Briggs & Stratton engine. The B&S is not known for its long life, so see what type of engine it has. If it's a Briggs or Tecumseh, offer less. If its a Kohler, Onan, or Honda, it's worth more. If I had to choose between my 2 mowers, without a doubt it would be the 40 year old JD. Old does not necessarily mean junk.
