Well I shot him an offer of $16,650 if he'd throw in a new boxblade and he snapped it up like my dog does a frizbee.
Makes you wonder how much room there was on that one.
He started at $18,000 when they first put it on the lot.(2 weeks ago max) The boxblade lists for $850, his cost maybe $400-$450? All this just reinforces my theory of never pay the asking price.
Stopped in after work Friday afternoon to do a final check. I testdrove it and during that time I noticed that the tractor wasn't sitting right. The RF seemed like it had a lot more camber than the LF. It just didn't look square to me. It was sitting on the shop floor and the salesman had the service manager look at it. He checked the air pressure in the tires and one rear was at 23 psi while the other was at 10 psi. The front tires were also off. I was informed that the one with 23 psi had a nail in it when they took it on trade and was repaired. Funny, the salesman hadn't heard about that. After the tires were aired up it did sit a lot better. Does this sound right?
The salesman and I loaded up the tractor and the trailer tail lights weren't working. We tried 2 different trailers and found out the problem was with the truck. The brake lights were working an so were the flashers. We drove the 35 miles in the dark with the flashers on and got the tractor to my house at 8pm. I'd say either he went above and beyond or he really wanted that tractor off of his lot. Only time will tell I guess.
