Replace washing machine hoses?

[Ryan K.]

Washing machine transmission broke in one of my single-family rentals.  $315 for new part.  Brand new machine, same size, more efficient for sale at Home Depot for $298, so the 15-year old washer is getting replaced.

The 2 rubber hoses look good but I assume they're original (15-years old).  Are $35 stainless steel braided replacement hoses worth it now, or is this a silly upsale?
