If you were in my area, to acquire a unit for 5 years from now you'd need to start looking now. I looked for a year in Northern CA and Northern NV to find a used unit. No success. I found some offered for sale, but everything I found was beat up and torn to shreds.
The brand name didn't matter. People seemed equally punishing no matter what the color was.
The market is saturated with mowers here, I picked my husky up for $800, it's a 2013, has 200 hours on it and is 24hp with 54 deck, hydrostatic drive. Dude took really good care of it. I see 445s and occasionally a 455 on CL for 2-4K range and around 1000 hours.
If I had the pocket change to get one I would and sell my husky but I don't do I will just wait and pay off/down on stuff.
I'm trying to get to the point of not being 100% reliant on my job, if I lost it right now I would be screwed and have to start selling off things I owe on within 2-3 months. I got everything bought I need, next 4 years will be paying off everything but the house and that will put me at 30 with just a house payment. That's the plan anyway lol.
