The trade-in price is 8.5% less than your original purchase price... that's very good!

However, your dealer appears to be working from MSRP based on the JD configurator ~ comes out right around $35,000.

That's NOT so good... For comparison's sake - let's say you could sell your current tractor for $11,000. (Would you take $11K for your tractor right now?) Well, the dealer is offering you $13,700: a difference of $2,700 dollars.

What's $2,700 off of the MSRP --- 7.7%. Basically, that's what your dealer is giving you off of the MSRP (list) price of the tractor package (that's assuming you could only get $11K selling your current tractor yourself).

There's some bargaining room there - IMO. If your dealer doesn't see it that way - I'd be strollin' for the door! :thumbsup:

If I were dealing on a new tractor package - I'd want the HD bucket for the loader (300CX)and a 3rd rear SCV, too.

Best of luck.

Assuming for a moment the package is $35,000 msrp with 18% off you could buy it for about $29,000 to $30,000 with taxes. Somebody has to sell the used tractor then for over $9,000 to be even compared to the dealers offer.
If it were me I would try to sell outright if I felt the local economy and demand would warrant this.

The numbers are for the entire package is $34,636 including calcium in the tires. We don't have any sales tax in Oregon so no skewing of the numbers there. With the trade the net is $20,950.

I also talked to a much larger tractor dealer about 45 minutes away. They have a used 2007 3320 with 250 hours on it (it was a lease return) with a new 300 CX loader and brush hog for a net of $20,235. So I lose the new tractor smell and pay a higher interest rate for $800 less.

What kind of discount is "average" on a new tractor off of MSRP? If I could get the CX loader at the same price would that be a much better deal?

Anybody notice the banner ad to the right? It says 0% financing AND $300 off. But when I click the banner I don't see any mention of the $300 off..?

I believe the additional $300 dollar saving's kicks in with attachments.

On my way back to Alaska this past April, I stopped in to the JD dealership in Olympia, WA. (They had a nice 4720 cab tractor on the lot parked right next to a JD 110 TLB.)

Salesman told me that they have sold many tractor packages to Alaskan's (so, the shipping, etc is already in place..).

He was pretty aggressive on prices, too! Jason Thomas and he's at Barnett Implement Company in Olympia, WA. Toll free: 1-800-325-4421 Barnett owns a number of dealerships in WA (maybe OR) - IIRC - 5 dealerships.

Can't hurt and you might get a bigger stick to roust your dealer from his slumber with!

Yep... same math. Steve and I are saying the same thing.. there's another $2,000 or so in "wiggle room" before the deal is really a good deal!

Hopefully, you can work with your dealer for the add-on options that you'd like to have included in the package - 300CX ($650), 66" foundry bucket ($127), Deluxe hood guard ($246)

Backhoe - 16" bucket ($106), Thumb ($695), Stabilizer cylinder protectors ($156).

These options price out at $1,980 MSRP dollars. You might be able to get them to throw in the bucket edge for the foundry bucket or maybe the 3rd rear SCV (if you're handy and don't mind installing it yourself) to round off the sale.

If you can get to this point with your dealer - that's when I'd be jumping in with both feet!

I agree with this thought also. In most cases this usually works out to be the better choice. If you would be willing to wait it out a bit longer and see just what you could get outright.

Several people coming tomorrow to look at it, it appears she'll be gone soon. It makes me kind of sad.

Everything else has been covered...Only thing I'd suggest is to get the Skid Steer QA on the 300cx.
