IMO to much money for either one, you can buy new for those prices.

Personally I like John Deere mowers the best. The z425 goes for $3800, I think that's a good deal but idk on the 757.

I also believe the price was a little too high on those mowers. You can get a mower with a better drive train new for close to what those mowers were priced used.

Btw, I have a friend who recently purchased a jd 820a with a heavy duty commercial Kawi engine with 200 hours on the machine for 4k. It is in a bigger class than the 757. He also purchased from a used tractor dealer and not an individual. The dealer made money on the mower, so who knows what the dealership paid for it.
