Thanks for the kind words.

I'm going to start off by saying that while I do have a heap of experience with Orange paint, I wouldn't even want to try to take a stab at prices for a) used stuff (I don't buy it and rarelyt sell it), or b) prices in your area.

I do know that there can be some pretty wild swings in prices regionally.

Art can give you a MUCH better idea on that stuff.

Having said that, I can tell you this;

The ZD18 is a good dependable rig, which in this area, and with a zillion more hours, would go for a bunch of bucks more than that.

The little 3 cyl. engine is a nice unit, smooth, will run for ever and probably never need a repair in your lifetime.

Which deck does it have on it, the 54" or the 60"? The 54" will do abetter job if the turf gets shaggy, but if it's kept groomed, the 60" will be just fine. IT's a little lacking on power for my liking, but in your absense of hills you should be Ok with it.

It certainly can clip a lot of turf in short order.

From a personal point of view, I like the seat suspension on the ZD's the best of any I've tried so far.

Best of luck.
