cost effective on craftsman

[tybilly]

hello people,im wondering how much money and effort you would put into a 252707(briggs).... 1986 craftsman 38' cut, im sure i can get by with less than a 100.doing the repairs myself.but ive sen better shape advertised for 250.00 on the net, the deck is in good shape was owned by an older couple with sears agreement,lol,but the son let it go to pot,

you didn't say whats wrong with it but if you can do it for a 100 bucks go for it if everything else is in good shape
