Buying A Used Lawn Mower: Reynolds vs Craigslist
Reynolds Farm Equipment Blog
January 25, 2019
Buying a used lawn mower can sometimes be just as good of a deal as a new mower. Depending on the age, make, model, and physical shape the mower is in, many people are beginning to realize the ease and budget friendly approach to buying used.
Craigslist has taken off over recent years due to being able to buy and sell just about anything. From livestock to an old TV, to even a lawn mower, Craigslist has become a universal way for many to hunt for deals. As many take this approach when purchasing items like a mower, we want to remind our local friends and family, that sometimes a good deal from a private seller may just be too good to be true.
At Reynolds, we have seen this happen time and time again. A customer comes into our store to get their mower, tractor, gator, etc. fixed that they bought online, at a sale, or got a deal on it from somewhere else. After having our certified technicians inspect the mower, we find a much bigger problem than what was originally thought to be the issue. This could end up costing much more than the customer wants to pay due to the extent of problems they didn't know about or weren't told about. While we will gladly service the mower to help our friends and neighbors, we hate to see these people innocently being taken advantage of.
While Reynolds does carry the latest new John Deere equipment, we also carry used equipment from many brands that could perfectly fit your needs, your wallet, and most importantly your peace of mind. All our used equipment is checked and serviced by our certified technicians, to ensure that our customers are getting a quality piece of equipment, and that every sale is taken care of the right way, the Reynolds way.
So, no more crossing your fingers, hoping the mower you just bought from Joe Schmo holds up and is actually a decent mower. Come into Reynolds and check out our used inventory, chat with one of our knowledgeable salespersons, kick the tires, and get yourself something that you can sleep well knowing it can from your trusted local hometown, John Deere Dealer, Reynolds Farm Equipment.
