How Much Should You Pay For A Used Riding Mower Or Zero Turn?

If you are buying a used riding mower or zero turn, how much should you actually pay? In this video, I go over a simple way to think about used mower pricing so you do not overpay. I break down what a homeowner should generally pay for a good used machine, when it may make sense to pay more for very low-hour equipment, and how quickly the price should drop when a mower has issues, unknown condition, or does not run right. I also explain why used pricing should be based on current replacement cost, condition, hours, and risk instead of just comparing seller asking prices. A mower is not a good deal just because it is cheaper than new. It has to be cheap enough to make sense for the condition and the repair risk you are taking on. I will also show some of the machines we have for sale and use those as examples of what fully serviced equipment sells for compared to what someone should want to pay when buying a used mower with unknowns or problems. If you are shopping for a used lawn tractor, riding mower, or zero turn mower, this video should help you avoid overpaying and think through what a machine is really worth.
