Well, here's where I am so far. I've been on the horn with a number of dealers. Some have gotten back to me. Others have not. I ended up working with two on the options. Right now, I'm down to one dealer, as the other owes me some info before we can proceed further, and I haven't heard from him in a while. Here's the deal I've been offered to date, which seems to be non-negotiable.
1643 Hydro Tractor
DL120 Loader with 66" Skid Steer HD Loader Bucket and Quick Attach
3rd Spool Electric Valve for Grapple
Turf Tires
Rear tires filled with fluid
Dealer will let me drop ship my grapple rake so he can make sure it works with the 3rd spool valve.
Cost $29,000
Discount -$2,500
0%/72 Months $450 (Dealer Participation Fee)
Total $26,950
I've really tried to get this price down, but the dealer says since I'm doing the 0%/72 month (or any financing for that matter) he can't go lower. Like most dealers say, they have a lower cash price, but I'm not prepared to do a cash deal.
The other dealer I'd been talking with before came up with pretty much the same price.
Is this "it" for the price, or can I do better than this? Subtracting out the 72 month financing fee, 8.6% doesn't seem like much of a discount.
