Used Lawn Mower Buying Tips

Not all used mowers are going to be a wise investment. Use the following tips to make finding a quality pre-owned lawn mower easier.

Research the Repair Rates

Certain makes and models will be more likely to break than others, which means those used mowers are more likely to need expensive repairs or parts replacements. Before you make a purchase, look into how well the manufacturer's products hold up over time. 

If you want to buy a used mower known for high repair rates, make sure that the added cost of repairs will still be within your budget.

Research Recalls

Recalls happen. Make sure there are no recalls for any pre-owned lawn mowers you are considering buying.

Consider the Used Mower's Age

A used lawn mower that has been well-maintained can last for many years. But it's important to factor in parts availability. Older models have a higher chance of their parts being discontinued from production. This can make finding a replacement part quite the challenge!

Inspect the Used Lawn Mower

Always do a thorough inspection of the pre-owned mower. Look over the model for signs of problems, such as wobbly wheels or leaky oil. Some problems can be a quick and easy fix, but be wary about buying a used lawn mower that needs extensive (and expensive) work done.
