A guy near me is selling a Craftsman FS 5500 with a Briggs 24hp intek engine. 48” deck. 233 hours. It appears to be in excellent shape. He says he buys them and fixes them up perfect and sells. He’s listed this one for $650. Can anyone tell me more about this mower? I have a little over and acre to cut, wide open minimal obstructions. Was looking at JD’s and Cub Cadets bit if I can find quality used mower for cheaper that would be great.

With good maintenance how much more life can I expect out of this mower?
Will it give a good cut on a flat acre?
And lastly, he’s asking $650, if you were to make an offer what would be reasonable without making too low/insulting offer?

Attached are some pictures.
