Kubota L5030....too good to be true?

[oz in SC]

Found one for sale around here for $6500...has 2750 hours,high floatation turf tires,HST,2 hydraulic ports,seller states he now lives in a condo and has nowhere to store it.Says he bought it new in 2004.
This seems VERY cheap to me.
Sent me some pics,tractor looks decent enough but hard to tell from the pics really.
Thanks.

ask to see it, you'll find out real quick if it's legit.

Ad doesn't come across as a scam,but it IS very low in price.

Just got an email from seller to call after 5pm,this seems legit,but either he is selling it for whatever he can get OR it is a typo.

If it's legitimate and in good shape, it is a very good deal.

Maybe he left off the '1' in front of the '6500'...:laughing:

It is coming from a golf course I do believe,any potential issues there?

I bought my 2003 L5030 HSTC with 735 hours last year and it had been used primarily for pulling a rotary cutter, running a RFM or cutter is not hard on them.

I got mine from the dealer when the owner brought it in for its yearly service and a new L5740 just happened to catch his eye. I got copies of its entire service history and have been very happy with it.

It would be quite good if the seller is actually selling it for that price.A loader would be nice but not essential at this time.

Our little old Massey is good but requires a lot of work.We were first time tractor buyers and we bought something that needs a lot of maintenance/repairs,plus has an oddball transmission(instant reverse) that doesn't really work out too well for our place.

It may have a lot of dents in it, if they were collecting golf balls while people were swinging away?

I could live with that.....for the price difference.

I am suspecting from looking online that the golf club might have gone out of business....but I could just be making that up in the hopes that the price is correct...:laughing:

If he wants you wire him some money before seeing it, run don't walk away from it.

Just got off the phone with the seller,seems like a nice enough guy and just wants to sell it.He has looked at blue book and just doesn't think the tractor is worth as much as he originally paid for it(said he paid $17,100 in 2004).

Most of the equipment he has is for 'manicured' grass,not the overgrown brush we have here on our land.

Now just need to figure out how to come up with the $$$.
