How can I, as a novice buyer, determine a fair price for a new tractor plus attachments?
There is a local dealer with whom I would like to establish a relationship. Situations I want to avoid include:
1) I don’t want to start my relationship by getting his quote only for the use of bouncing off of other dealers (to see if the local guy is competitive).
2) I don’t want to obtain quotes from distant dealers only for the use of telling my local dealer that he must beat it to get my business.
When I purchase a new car, I have ready access to various online sites that, when evaluated in total, allow me to approach a dealer with a firm understanding of what I am willing to pay. Are these resources available for tractors?
I know what equipment I want to purchase. I don’t want to go here, than go there; than, let’s go back there to see if they will match it. I want to walk into my local dealer and make a transaction. How can I do this?
