My local dealer finally gave me a price on the
BX2230, $8,500.00, and that's with the 60"mmm. I would have to finance it, so through KCC the interest would be 7.78% for 48 months. Then he's trying to push the sales on his remaining
BX2350 models. He's offering a
BX2350 with a 60"mmm at $10,975.00. The normal list price on Kubota's website is $11,807.00.
After crunching the numbers there's only a $6.00 difference between the
BX2230 and
BX2350 with KCC's "new" and "used" financing terms. I haven't checked any other financing options yet to see if I could find a lower interest rate for the
BX2230. I'm kind of interested in the
BX2350 now. I know it has the issues of the plastic body parts cracking and the abrupt stopping, but I thought that wasn't to bad of a price though. I haven't test drove one yet either.
I also have to try and sell my 2004 model Toro WH 520xi. I would rather try to sell it first then trade it in. I'll have to start advertising it here, and on a few other websites as well. Well, according to KCC, I have until 6/30/09 to sell my 520xi. I'll also see if my local Kubota dealer will give me an idea on what type of trade-in value he'll offer me. The
BX2230 was a local purchase/trade-in. The former owner bought it new at this Kubota dealer, then traded it in on a
BX2350 last fall.
