If He is truly your friend why not give it to him???????

Go to Machine Finder.com and search for LX280's. You will get an idea what JD Dealers are asking for this lawn tractor.

It sounds like you have about a 2004 LX280. I would guess a fair price would be somewhere around $2500. Even for a friend... :)

I just recently sold an '04 LX280 with a 42" deck and only 24 hours for $2,300. If he's a GOOD friend, 2K would be a very fair price. But, if he's a CASUAL friend somewhere in the $2,300-$2,500 range would be a good price.
