So, I went into the local John Deere dealer with my 2 kids and mom after picking up my daughter from pre-school. One salesman was busy with a customer and the other two were busy talking to each other while I was standing in the "show room". After the one salesman finished up with his customer, he actually asked to help me.
Anyway, I was there to get a price on a Z445 Zero Turn Mower and to look at tractors. The price he gave me on the Z445 was MSRP and he didn't even know about the rebate on the mower until I mentioned it.
Is this standard procedure on a Zero Turn Mower from John Deere? I have heard that there is some leeway in pricing on tractors, but is there no room for negotiation on the Zero Turn Mowers? If so, I'll just buy the thing. If not, I'll shop around. Not too sure I'll buy from these guys becasue not a single one of them asked to help me while I was looking at the 2000 and 3000 series tractors they had on the lot. FYI - I really like the 3720 that I saw on the lot and it is going to be on my wish list for the end of tax season 2012. Just need to focus on the Zero Turn Mower right now.
