Found a crazy deal on a lawn mower - worth it?

So I was browsing Craigslist and found a barely used Honda HRX217 for $150. The guy says it starts first pull. I know these are usually like $400+. Is it too good to be true? Should I snag it?

Mike, if it's legit, that's a steal. I've had my HRX for 5 years and it's a beast. Check for rust, leaks, and make sure the blades aren't bent. If it runs good, jump on it. Worst case you can resell it for profit.

I'd be careful, might be stolen. But if you're not sketched out, go for it. I bought a "used" mower once and the engine blew after a week. But Honda's are tanks. Get a video of it starting before you hand over cash.

Honda HRX? That's the Cadillac of mowers. For $150, I'd already be in the truck. Check the deck for cracks and ask when the last oil change was. Even if you have to put $50 in it, you're still ahead.
