I must be crazy. The jd dealer that I had look at this tractor (4300hst 4x4 420ldr 47bh 316hrs) called me back and said they had done the appraisal on the tractor and it is in excellent condition and worth at least the selling price. He said it looked to him that all the maint. had been kept up on and there was only normal wear amd tear on the machine. It's a good buy, he said.
Seeing as how the seller already had an offer ($500 less than asking price) on the tractor and there was another guy calling back to schedule a time to look at it, guess what I did.
Can't guess? Well, I just made out a check for $500 to mail as a down payment on the tractor (paid full asking price of
$19,500).
I'm pretty nervous. Hope I did the right thing. Since the appraisal was good, I don't know how I could get hurt on the deal. I'd feel a lot better though if I'd seen the tractor in person, although I know what they look like and drive like. The mechanic said it looked and drove great. I think I already said that. Am I talking too much? People seem to do that when they're nervous. My wife is just shaking her head at me.
It should be at least a couple of weeks before I pick it up. Wish me luck.
