We have 3 year old Huscavana ride on lawn mower, whole thing the expensive one all full of all bells and whistles.
We take it in for maintenance once a year. This year on first time out of the barn Hubby noticed a very light knocking noise , so off to the shop. The shop had changed hands last fall so we who had traded with the dealer for years had no idea what to expect.
What we did not expect was a diagnose of Cracked engine block. Cost over $1,000 to replace it. Yikes the machine was only 3 years old and used perhaps 60 hours at max in that time period. No running into boulders, just mowing a flat lawn.
So they want to take our mower and the accessories and with nothing in writing about the trade in value and have us finance a new mower for $1,500 .. Yeah some people are really dense to these things but I am afraid hubby is going to take the advice or hard sell of people when he has no knowledge about lawn mowers.
Yes there are some city born idiots that never used ever ran push mower, so I a country girl have alarm bells ringing so loud I cannot hear myself think.
Not much I can do, Hubby is very defensive about his on the spot decision, came unglued when I asked about the trade in and why the accessory's to the machine were to go with the old machine.
So how does a 3 year old mower get a cracked engine block when it is serviced every year ??? How come no trade in money for a $3,000 mower to buy a $1500 machine.
Need HELP before this deal goes through.
