Stike 204 #1 Posted August 10, 2017 I have a chance to buy a c161 very close to home from a friend of a friend who saw it in his garage and asked him if he wanted to sell it. He said it has been parked in garage for a long time it belonged to his father who was original owner, not running right now but did several years ago. He said his father mainly used it for hauling a small cart around 3 acre yard and had other tractor for mowing. Long story longer he said $200 my friend said offer $150 and he'll take it, are there any known issues to watch for, would it be worth $150 any thoughts. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,826 #7 Posted August 10, 2017 150 is so cheap that even if it has most or all the normal issues you should end up ahead. The 16hp Kohler tractors are strong and coveted by their owners usually. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,942 #9 Posted August 10, 2017 Heck I'd even give him the $200 and smile all the way home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,507 #10 Posted August 10, 2017 ... this should be posted on "What's in your mirror" already . Like @19richie66 said even for $200 I'd be smiling but I always try to negotiate . Now where did you say this friend of a friend lives... I'll pick it up for you ... promise ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stike 204 #11 Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks for all the responses, already planned on buying the tractor post was to help convince the better half I couldn't pass such a deal and that only makes 4 of these amazing little horses. She keeps asking me how many we need and I tell her "too many is never enough." 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
