Has anyone seen any deals due to this pandemic?

The biggest single cause of the losses is labor unions...particularly the UAW...the members only have themselves to blame...!

A bit over the top, but as a friend I had who was a UAW employee said “ The parasite ate the host and the host died “.
He always told me when the union demanded more pay than the ownership could afford, they would say to the employees “ the company is worth millions, they can afford to pay us more “.

I bought a new tractor from Massey Ferguson yesterday.
Massey has 0 % financing or a rebate of $4000 for cash, plus $500 rebate for military and the dealer kicked in another $500 to make it happen. Saved $5000 and paid $33,500 plus tax.
My first new tractor so hard for me to know how much of a deal it was.

Old man was in the UAW. Always said a necessary evil, with the union they asked for stupid things, without the union the company would do stupid things to the employees.

Do you have pictures of it yet? Some of us love visual images. I just read your previous post telling what you ended up with. You bought a nice machine, it will give you years of service.

I worked for a company with a union. When it came time for contract negotiation, labor always demanded a closed meeting with management. Labor always came out of the meeting saying management was unreasonable and issued a strike order. A couple weeks later labor and management met again behind closed doors. This time everything was fine, they got a small pay increase and ok to go back to work. It was never announced what the managements original position was, but it was suspected they offered better than what was later settled for. It was felt that the union bosses had to turn it down just to show they had power and control and as a result the settlement was less because of the strike. (no proof, but that was a belief held by most of the union and non-union workers)

Curious what kind of union that was? I was in the Teamsters and come contract time all proposals were out in the open on both sides for everyone to see.
