Ariens Zoom 1232 questions

[inspectorted]

Hello from Indiana. I am looking at buying a very well kept Zoom1232 ZTR mower. It has a B&S 12hp. The asking price is $600.00. The mower, I believe is a 2004. Does anyone know of any ongoing problems with this particular model?

Does this Zoom model have zerks ?
I am considering a 2048 EZR Ariens, 2003 for 1.2K dollars.
But I know little about these...
Are they REALLY still in production ?

inspectorted/earthworm,
My next door neighbor has a 15-yr-old 2048 EZR(I think that's the model) and it still runs GREAT. It has the 16hp Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine(one of the best engines B & S ever made). If well maintained those older Ariens are a fine residential ZTR!!!
