Buying Advice 2013 5065e or 5075e

[AKfish]

The price I got on a 5065M was $35,700: deluxe open station was $38,000: and the 5065m cab was $45,700. An H310 loader added to this was an extra $8000.
A little high.

That seems a bit steep... Is that a "first quote" before some real discussion on a settled price? As well, I'd think that the 260 loader would be a better fit for the 65-75 M's. IIRC, the larger Hp M's are 5-600lbs heavier machine.

That does sound a bit steep especially since the 5065M is being phased out. My wife and son paid $32K for a new 2011 5065M w/2WD, Cab, 16F/16R, 2 sets of hydraulic hook ups and Power Reverser this past Summer.

When looking a year or two ago, I started a thread inquiring about the value achieved by spending approximately $10k more for a 5065M vs the 5065E for the occasional user. Several stated it was well worth it. In the end I wound up finding a good deal on 2008 JD 5303 which is the equivalent to the the 5065E. I have been very pleased with my choice and expect to get many years of dependable service from this unit.
