Tractor fire sale?

[dodge man]

I agree, it’s worth a look.

 

[sd455dan]

Definitely worth a look, especially if you can confirm a Full warranty with TYM Corporate.

What is the asking price?

I would be surprised if the insurance was not involved if not the mfg then the carrier.

For starters I would try somewhere around 40% from list if the damage is limited to the exterior.

EDIT:
I just remembered years ago when six disk drives valued around $4,000 each. WE shipped by some trucking firm to the customer, the truck had a wreck and the carriers insurance paid us list price for all six drives.

All damaged electronics that need repaired/replaced will be expensive.

He has mentioned $47k but to me it sounded like he was feeling it out and wasn't a serious price, he'll definitely go lower in my opinion. Especially since at least one other dealer 300 miles away is listing the same tractor for $48k.

What electronics are in the front? From what I've seen of the TYMs behind the hood is the battery, air filter assembly, cooling stack and associated lines. Am I missing something?

 

[paulsharvey]

So, even relatively small, easy items add up, like air filter box, battery, battery cables, ect. I would want to be atleast $5k off the lowest price available within 500 miles to even consider it; and that's If the warranty, financing, ect is normal. The paint, and all, that's gonna look worse from normal use, so that's not my main fear.

My worry, chrome on rods, axle seals, ect, that might seem fine, that fail in 50/100 hours from heat damage?

I think it would plan on an immediate fluid change, and then do the normal 50 hour change Too. Maybe that's paranoia...

 

[RjCorazza]

If the damage is so minor I don't get why the dealer doesn't just replace the fire damaged parts and sell as new.
There must be some basic reason, and I would be very wary.

 

[Topzide]

I'm sure that the serial number has been flagged. That's the only reason that he would be willing to haggle on the price.

Must confirm that the warranty and financing are intact on that unit!

^^^Agree.....something is a bit odd.
