Reasonable starting price for 2012 3038e

[jenkinsph]

Thanks for all the helpful replies guys, I really do appreciate it. And AKfish, hopefully there are no hard feelings. FWIW, I did not mean to come across in a mean manner. You offered good advice and I will heed it.

And Steve, that walk away price of $17,500 is that including the $1,000 rebate they are running for the purchase of two implements(making it more like $18,500) or would you then expect it to be taken down to $16,500?

Again, I can't thank you guys enough for your input!!

Tractor only, if you buy implements at the same time in a package their discount should be similar. Most implements when purchased seem to be about 10% off for things like rearblades, rakes, and boxblades. The more expensive implements (cost vs. weight) such as tillers, hydraulic augers you should get a better discount on.

AKfish did make a good point about the economy tractors selling for closer to msrp, there isn't as much room to dicker with. For your scenario I think 15% off of msrp was about 17,400. I would add the msrp of the tractor and upgrades to the msrp of the implements for a total figure and deduct about 15% so if you can get close to that discount structure you are doing alright.

I am looking at a 3038e in Houston, the price is 14.914 for the tractor and 3549 for the loader, at a total of 18,463. The rep said it's nonnegotiable. I'm glad I came across this thread before I got too serious.

Bought mine 2 years ago with 36 Mo. free financing. 3 different dealers in my area offered 10% off list immediately. I went with the dealer easiest to drive to.
