2320-2520 Trade in question

deerehunter/operator · Apr 11, 2011

I was figuring list for the three items at $21891 less the $2500=$19391. He is quoting me $18350 so I was coming up with about 5% difference between the $19391 and the $18350. What am I missing that you got 7.3%? Not questioning your math just trying to figure out if I am getting a fair deal or not. thanks

I did not have the exact price on the 62D and attaching parts so I guessed with $3250 verses the $2796 actual list. I ran your numbers and get your percentage.

I will say to look at your quote individually. I say that because on my written quote the percentage off is different for each piece. Tractor is 7.5%, 200 cx is 3.5%, and 72"mmm is 10%. Then it takes off $2500 for the implement discount. This is just to give you an idea of where they are taking the money off.

For Mutton to take another $1351 off of your price for the $16999 price is a pretty darn good price. Each dealer will be different finacially as to what they can offer.

Another thought on this. How about keeping the existing front end loader and mower. Simply trade in 2320 for 2520, or possibly sell the 2320 privately. The other thought was leave well enough alone. There isn't a world of difference between the two models, and you very low hrs on the 2320.

I thought of that but you have to get two implements to qualify for the 2500 rebate and that was the whole reason I was considering it. I dont need any other implements as I have lots already. The other idea of just keeping what I have might be the most logical at this point. Pretty tough to beat a 2320 for what I do.

So let me get this strait. For 5 grand you can trade to a tractor that is almost exactly the same as what you have. You've just owned your current tractor through the high depreciation period and now that you'll be moving into the low depreciation period and you want to spend 5 grand so you can start over in the high depreciation period and lose more money.

I'm not trying be a jerk here. I'm actually trying to help you out by telling it like it is. If you have tons of cash and no debt then do whatever you want with your money. But if you have any concern about good financial stewardship, then back away from the JD dealer!

No I see your point. Im not trying to push away anybody that wants to talk me out of this. For that reason, I must not think its that great of a deal.
