857 VALUE ? SORRY BUT I HAVE TO ASK

Recommended Posts

I am new to the 60's Wheel Horse world. I am looking at a one owner 857 with original paint-snow blower-and a nice deck. Garage kept all its life. What would a ball park number be on this providing it runs well with no smoke?

seeings how it has a blower and deck ballpark 400-475ish. That's just my opinion.

I have purchased two 857's over the last two years. Both have come from the Maryland or south central Pennsylvania area. I will tell you that in my opinion, a nice 857 with accessories, that has been maintained and garage kept, should be valued at a price not unlike those mentioned in the first two responses. If you can get it for less, all the better.

 

My method has always been to take (in cash) the most money you are willing to pay, offer less, and settle somewhere in-between if possible.

@857 horse, There ARE Horses for sale in Virginia! You gotta be quick and have cash.

Picked up a near mint 1972 Charger 10 auto with a deck and blower Monday. Solid searching and quick response get some pretty good results.
