Is this a good deal for a greens mower?

What questions do I need to ask?

This is from another thread:

They are the evolution of the JD greensmower.
The 220A was made from 1997-2002,
The 220B from 2002-2006,
The 220C from 2007-2010, and
The 220SL from 2011-Current.

Small design changes were made over the years to various parts of the mowers.

My only concern would be that it is 15-20 years old.

Thinking about your larger lawn, I noticed the Weeks Auction has some 26" Toro GM1600's and JD 260SL's. The Toro's look a little older, but the JD's are 2011 models and they have groomers. Just something to conisder.

I would try and bid on a mower at the Weeks auction. 2 yrs ago i picked up a 2011 JD 220SL for about $550 from the same auction. That is $100 cheaper then the 220A on Craigslist and a decade newer. The mower only needed a backlap and an oil change when I received it and is still being used by a coworker I sold it to. Those 260SL's look Reel nice! If I had to guess, I would think they would go for around $800 with the groomers. Anything less then that would be a good deal.

How did you get it home?
Do they ship to you?

I was crazy and drive down there and picked it up... Called out of work the next morning as I was already in Atlanta at that time. When I got my triplex last year from an auction in Tampa, I had it shipped. I used someone on uship. IIRC it was $500 to ship the triplex to northern Illinois.
