Simplicity Conquest, to buy or not to buy?

Hi, I hope everyone is well. I'm looking at a 2002 Simplicity Conquest that I am considering buying. I need advice to buy or not and what to look for? The man that owns it works at an area mower shop. He bought it with a blown engine. It had a 20 hp Briggs Vanguard. He replaced it with a 2004 model 18 hp Briggs Vanguard. Will that engine turn a 54" deck? I will be mowing about an 1 1/2 acres. It has a hill on it. I will be mowing some kudzu, or at least attempt to. It is a hydro unit. The steering is stiff, could it have power steering, but isn't working. What would you look at to see is if it has PS? I have driven for a minute. What else should I look for? He's asking $1300, he said the least he would take is $1200. I spoke with the local dealer, he said it was to much. He stated the fair price would be about $900. So, what does everyone think? Good buy or not and at what price? Thank you.....
