[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 223245, member: 843"] I get all that, but run the math and factoring everything (maintenance, depreciation, etc) in the cheapest cost per mile of that machine is likely found in that 70-120k range. If you are just concerned about trade in value might as well trade it in and get a new one at 30k... Everyone has a different methodology on that, do whatever you are comfortable with. I just figured a business would be looking at the bottom dollar and not have as much emotion or personal "want" tied into there decisions on when to update machines. If the machines start giving them trouble or experience more down time than the cost to upgrade to a new one then its time to go. I don't enjoy mowing or tinkering/fixing mowers. I want my mower to be trouble free just like the commercial guys so I can spend my time doing things I enjoy more. Ill keep my daily watch for the right used machine, however the 0% financing offers are tempting considering it gives a guy a new machine with warranty. [/QUOTE]
