What to buy??

I am looking to buy an "n" tractor. I have been looking at them for several weeks now both locally and on the net. I"m starting to understand the slight differences. There is a lot of them out there and it can become over whelming trying to sort them all out.

I have about 3 acr.to mow and do some light work around the house. I see using an finish mower, blade, maybe a tiller or post hole digger(the last two very little)

My question is:
1)Is there one N better than another, what should I stay away from due to model or year problems.

2) does one N have better features than the others that should play a part in my decision making?

3) what is a fair price for one in good working order, with good paint and tires? $2000 $2500? $3000? Pricing seems to have a wide range from $2000.00-$4500.00

Thanks
