A new one "stickers" at $18,000. If you get 9% off sticker, you'd give it right back in sales tax, given your tax rate. So, say $18,000.
So, you did very well. I would say the claims of savings $5000 by your dealer was typical sales hype, but you still did OK. Don't look back.
Model years are traditionally a little whackier on a tractor than an auto. Build date is one thing and "put into service" date is another, as stated above. Since there isn't a title, it matters little. It would be fair to think of yours as an '09 sort of, given the hours. That splits the difference.
Now, the important thing. We Want Pictures!!!!
