JVDWheelHorse 170 #1 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I have found a 702 on Craigslist that I am interested in but I'm not sure what it's worth. The listing does not include a price. Any thoughts appreciated! Edited June 5, 2016 by WheelHorseKid1843 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kthack657 328 #2 Posted June 5, 2016 What you are asking is soo hard to say, every location is different, and everyone has different ideas as to what it would be worth,,,it looks like a good solid machine, best of luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,986 #3 Posted June 5, 2016 I'd go look at them, and drive them. See if they really "run great" as he says. They look a little rough, but worth cleaning up. If I were shopping for another WH, I'd go look at them, and I'm only a few miles from you. I just don't have space for another one. Maybe offer him $200, and see what his reaction is. Try to find out what he had in mind. Good luck. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 59,734 #7 Posted June 6, 2016 If I were the seller and knew what I had I would be asking $400, the shower head muffler alone would bring crazy money on . If you get it be sure to protect the muffler, offer it for sale here if you don't want it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully the seller isn't a member waiting to jack up the price on me how much do they typically sell for? I appreciate your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #9 Posted June 6, 2016 Had one long ago, 30-40 years ago. Excellent Horse. I too would start at $200. Maybe go to $300 if the Stallion runs, no problems and the deck is in decent shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,195 #14 Posted June 6, 2016 You could easily double your $200 offer... and it would still be a good buy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 23,274 #17 Posted June 6, 2016 That horse is worth all of $400 to $500 with the deck...if it runs good. It looks like it is all there, straight and original...and it looks like it would clean up very nice. That is Wheel Horse's best horse produced up to that time as a garden tractor. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You guys that are saying $200-$300 I have to wonder what you're smoking. I'd bet none of you would sell it for that price if it were yours. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #19 Posted June 6, 2016 It even has original tires, and it looks like they hold air. It has the right gas cap, the steering wheel looks like new...everything is there!! I think even offering $200 is insulting. Just my .02. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amcwheel85 2,059 #20 Posted June 6, 2016 I've talked to the guy 2 times now and he has turned down $350 for it. Cuz I called him about the 656 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that $200 is too low for the 702, but I recommended that when the seller was refusing to give an asking price. A low ball offer would just be to get him to talk dollars. I figure that any offer at all would be less insulting than no offer. It's just a starting point. I really don't like sellers who take the 'best offer' approach to selling, when you take the time to travel to see the tractor, and make them a realistic offer. Then they say that they will wait to see if they get a better offer. It's not an auction. I usually tell them that my offer is only good today, and I can't travel back again later. I agree that you have to make them your own best offer, but then be willing to walk away from it. Jim 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amcwheel85 2,059 #22 Posted June 6, 2016 Yea he told me he got overwhelmed with calls on them so he was holding out to get more offers... Like a auction! Yea I don't agree with it either but he does seem like a nice guy other then that! Lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with Steve...shower muff alone---$$ I doubt if the guy is a member here or he would let it go 350-400 just to get it to another good home. He sets on it long enough he just might get 500. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #24 Posted June 6, 2016 No problem Jim. I am under the impression that WHKid is asking what we think the horse is worth...and it is worth all of what I said (if it runs), maybe more. If WHKid can get it for less...that's cool...but that is what the horse is worth. BTW, I don't appreciate this best offer thingy either. Bad way to do business. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
