Selling a tractor rather than trading it in

   / Selling a tractor rather than trading it in #31  
Some good points that i have practiced. first, I don't want "lookers" that are really going to buy or make an honest offer to "play" with my equipment be it a car, truck, tractor, mower etc. Yes, the potential is there for making a few more dollars but that same potential is there for damage to your good equipment. The other point is also valid, most states base sales tax on the difference between the cost of the new item and the trade in of the old. If you do decide to seel your tractor or mower outright you should price it to take into account the extra sales tax you will have to pay on the new tractor for having no trade.

The Sales Tax thing makes sense...

Unfortunately it does not work this way in my State of California
