Great find on a Honda Hydro Walk-Behind!

Grazing my local HD 2 weekends ago and saw a reconditioned Honda HRB217HXA. That's the one with the hydorstatic drive and blade brake cluch. They normally sell it for $699. This one was missing a few small parts, like oil filler cap, mulch plug, air cleaner cover, etc. Total parts about $35. The machine showed no signs that it was ever used: pristine deck, blades, etc. It had a red "Manager's Special" tag on it for $199. I already own an 11 year old honda that is similar and love that machine. Couldn't leave it there. Actually, I didn't get it that day, too busy. Took me a few trips back to find the right guy to honor the $199 price, which was no longer on the machine. Even the store manager wouldn't do it, and wanted the $590 "mark down" price. Finally got the lawn and garden manager to sell it for the $199. Persistance pays off! Full 2-year factory warranty, too!!!!

Next time buy it right then and there, even if you can't pick it up untill later. Good deals are great, esp. on stuff you like. 18 degrees
