The last time I bought a new tractor was back in 1999 and I was able to avoid sales tax because I made the purchase in another state (by telephone) and had the tractor (and other equipment) delivered to me "for free".
Back then, however, the Kubota dealers close to my home were opposed to making any substantial reductions below MSRP.
This time around, though, when I spoke with the local Mahindra dealer and he told me that he would cheerfully pick up the Max at no charge if there were any warranty issues, this really hit home. As part of my "downsizing", I had sold the trailer which I used to haul the old Kubota and did have concerns about having the Max stranded on my property. Combining this with decent pricing made me go local without even bothering to get quotes from out-of-state dealers.
