an those are some nice ichigan bucks. That third one is a real onster.

The only thing bad I have to say Cobbie, is that you are fro southern ichagan. Otherwise, those are some agnicicant photos.

Some people have nothing better to do than troll

I really like them odd looking ford trucks you have

Then the second on ripped me off by even more since trade value was higher

What's the odds that two rather large dealerships intentionally screw up like this? Performance Chrysler and donley ford here in Ohio ain't exactly mom and pop used car lots. But you can clearly see....I was paying tax on the total BEFORE trade about. The second one was my truck. My early...

Well you made me go back and look at some old dealer papers. Turns out my memory isnt as good as I though when recounting the stories earlier... because I was way off on my figures...lol BUT.....fact remains....Of the past 3 trade in's that I have kept paperwork for....TWO were charged sales...

Yes I'm sure. No, you don't pay sales tax on your trade. Because you are the seller. The buyer is the one that pays. Think if it this way.......you want a $30k vehicle.....you are paying tax on $30k no matter if you walk in the door with $10k cash, or a trade worth $10k.....you still pay your...

Thats correct. It is treated as if you are selling your trade in.......then taking that cash to purchase the new vehicle. You are taxed on the full selling price of their vehicle. So through the back and forth negotiations.....I like to see them discount the vehicle they are selling me rather...

I never said I focus on the payment (only). Thats why I specifically said At the end of the day......monthy payment x number of months (plus a down payment if applicable) is what I am going to be paying. THATS what I care about. I care about what I ACTUALLY pay over the term. I wont apologize...

It's all about the fact that I want to compare what I am ACTUALLY paying. Not some number the salesman writes on paper to make me feel good....all the while hiding other costs in there to get the bottom like HE wants. Obviously comparing used vehicles is hard because there are no two used...

Im not too proud to say I have never financed. Sometimes a 10-15k financed vehicle is better in the long run than a $500 beater with a heater. I didn't graduate with enough money in my account to pay cash for a vehicle, get married,and put a down payment on a house. So financing a vehicle...

IF I ever had to buy anything from your brother, I can assure you he wouldnt think of me as a "salesmans dream". Anymore, I dont finance....so it makes it easy. Back when I financed.....I went in knowing what I could get for an interest rate....and what I though said vehicle was worth. For...

That was always my attitude when car shopping. I dont care what you "show" on paper you are giving me for my trade. I dont care what you "show" on paper the selling price to be. I dont care what you "show" on paper the interest rate to be. At the end of the day......monthy payment x number of...

Im curious myself. I mean...if this thing was dropping like a foot every 20 min or so and you constantly had to bump it up while working...and deere left you hanging....yea thats a legit gripe. But ...coming on here to try and give deere a black eye, because it drifts down at 1.5" per hour...

I wouldn't really say its very common....and definitely wouldn't say its a "problem" Sure, if you are mowing with the loader on and trying to keep it say ~1' off the ground...and you find yourself having to raise it back up every few minutes it would be a problem. but shutting the tractor off...

Everyones opinion on how much bleeding down is acceptable is different. The ONLY one that matters is what the valve manufacture specifies. There are NO seals in the spools on a hydraulic valve. IT is just very tight tolerance metal on metal. So they ALL will leak down eventually. But is it a...

If one company builds a 4000# 40HP and another builds a 3000# 40HP machine...I doubt all other things would be equal. Heck, Even if you ONLY look at the mahindra line....They make a ~40hp machine in the 1600 series all the way up to the 5500 series. Mahindra 1640......3175 pounds...

IT all depends on what you want in a tractor...but all to often this mahindra (weight) vs kubota(lightweight) arguments are stupid because people are comparing "similar" horsepower but not comparing similar tractors. Kubota builds high HP to weight ratio machines. Mahindra does not. So it could...

30hp kubotas cover a range from 1700 pound B-series tractors up to 3500+ pound grand L's. Taking one persons issues with front axle bearings, not knowing the model, uses, etc certainly doesnt quantify a "kubotas have weak front axles" statement. I had a "30hp kubota" and even tweaked the...

I am wondering if I should take 30k out of my savings and give it to someone with excellent credit so they can pay me back $500 a month over 60 months. Just so I can say I "maintain" positive cash flow for the next 5 years.....nah....I think I'll keep my money

The only way they take a cash price and ALSO agree to a 0% loan is if your cash price negotiating skills suck and there is still enough markup for them to agree to it. And how in the world do you make money on a 0% loan in the secondary market. Lending institutions make money on the interest...

Supply and demand. IF more people thought that way there would be more demand for used stuff and less for new.....Prices would reflect that. Stuff is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Manufactures getting $300k for a new tractor because there is enough demand at that price to...

I agree. That type of work is where a hst shines

The mahindra is quite a bit heavier tractor, so I can believe it is quite a bit stronger loader. The mx is ~4200# with a cab and the mahindra is a 5200# cabbed machine. But even that, you will never lift 2700 pounds unless you have something seriously heavy on the back. But same for the...

Everyone is entitled to opinions

Are you thinking a 40hp 2600-series mahindra or a 40hp 3600 series....cause there is a huge difference. The MX is about right in the middle of those two based on weight. Since you are considering a 40hp offering from mahindra....I am assuming you have little to no use for the PTO? They are...
