Should I buy this mower ?

I have a chance to buy a John Deere 932 Gas model and delivered for 1500.00
It has that 3 cylinder Yanmar motor. He has extra set of blades.
I didnt see if the hour meter still turns or not but it had 1630 hrs on it when I looked at it. The mower works and mows just fine and it looks pretty good. Its not all banged up or nothing. I dont keep up with mower prices and such that well.
Should I buy it ?
Tell me yes so I can tell my wife

You should know by now that HT enabling is notorious and not limited to horse purchases. Ask what she wants. It may be new and better. Have fun.

Thanks for the help.
Well the mower is cheaper than any other ones I can find in comparison. I tried to find a used value but the Bluebook for these is very expensive. If someone knows of a forum that would know if this is a good deal then please let me know.
Thanks

Is it a front mount or belly mount? Both are f932 but the old ones are belly mount.

I'd have jumped all over that if it's in as good of a condition as you say.. that's probably about half the price you could normally find a nice one for..

Wow thats great to hear. I guess I better let him know that we will take the mower. It has a lot of hours on it for sure. I still think that its worth what they are asking but I wanted to hear it from the professionals.
Thanks for the help.
