Pricing Question

[drg1]

I recently went to 2 Jd dealers to get quotes on the following:
3032e Tractor
305 Loader
Msrp of the package is 15,379.60 for tractor, 4,214.69 for loader, total for both 19,594.29.
Dealer #1 quoted price of 18,227.36...7% off msrp
Dealer #2 quoted price of 18,563.00...6% off msrp..
Looking at tractorhouse and veiwing what others on this forum are paying (15,000-16500) what gives? I guess when I asked for a quote I was expecting their best offer, how is everyone getting such great deals?

Mutton's price is about $16,400, if they will not come down a bit it might be worth you while to have one shipped from them.

It might be influenced some by the fiscal year cycle, sometimes dealers feel the need to meet quarterly or end of year sales targets. We got our 3038e w/ 305 from a local dealer 4th qtr of 2010 for about $17,500 w/ 60 mo. 0% financing ...

Interesting I getting quotes on different models but I am in general hee are my discounts.

Dealer #1 6.2% discount from MSRP
Dealer #2 8.2% discount from MSRP
Dealer #3 6.0% discount from MSRP
Dealer #4 15.2% discount from MSRP


Guess which dealer is going to get the sale, once I decide which tractor??

Thats what I dont understand , how one dealer can be 2,000 less on the same model...So how do these dealers stay in buisness when they obviously dont want your buisness...I couldnt imagine the profit they are getting on mega tractors or combines

Is that bucket a permanent structure or is is a quick detach (Whole assembly) This stuff is all new to me and I was just wandering....

 

[drg1]

The bucket itself is quick disconnect..The loader arms and mast stay attatched...There is a Park stand that can be purchased sep. that allows you to disconnect the loader arms, but leaving the mast bracked attatched to the tractor..

sounds like you just asked them for a price on a certain tractor,without telling them you was going to buy.now tell them your going to buy an want their rock bottom price.

Yeah I guess youre right, I just thought that they would give a more tempting quote to sway a buyer into purchasing..It would seem that the average buyer would know what the ball park price it would take to buy something,,,but then as they say...A sucker is born every minute...

Let them know you are ready to buy. I have posted this before when I go in to see the dealer and make the purchase I have already done all my research and have decided what I am willing to pay. I have an earnest money cashiers check for $1000 and another larger down payment cashiers check to show them I am serious. When buying my 4520 that allowed me to buy the package for 18% off. Fair for the dealer and me, I don't expect them to be in business without a reasonable profit.
