Well here they push mower at a price where any repairs makes buying complete new just as cheap; unless, you are doing the repairs for u\yourself. Even then it be costly. A few years ago I quit even trying to resell used push mowers because of the insulting offers. Thing having one restored to operating condition with a price tag of $50 and being offered only $20 at the most for them. When I got $35-$40 in parts alone in them. I send more to recycling center than should be just because no one want to invest in an used mower.
Many manufactures are selling these at near cost if not below cost and then they try to make up their losses in after sales in parts line.
