b2320 pricing in Canada

[danito]

The differential between the US $ and CND$ is what? 3 pennies?

Come on! No doubt your sales tax is higher, and that's a big bite.
Also, wouldn't believe everything you hear about Americans all saving 15% of Kubota.com list price either. 15% is certainly not typical.

Again, the price you quoted was not THAT bad, honestly, and that's all I was saying. I know we all find it fun to gripe, but owning it is more fun. :thumbsup:

I agree that owning is more fun! But while you're shopping, you don't want to be ripped off either! And the sales tax are an additional hit but I was comparing prices, excluding taxes. It seems there is not much difference in money value, but with the exchange rate these days, on a 20k$ tractor it's another 500$ we pay "more". But anyway it won't stop me from buying!

I don't know what Americans are paying but if I go to the Kubota US site and do the BUILD IT NOW, the price I get there is what we pay here. There are times of course when the dealer has old stock and Kubota puts on a discount but to order a tractor we pay the price on the US site almost to the penny.

Exactly, we basically pay US MSRP prices..

Don't forget the equine discount

"18% discount off the Canadian MSRP (Manufacturerç—´ Suggested Retail Price) for Kubota power units (Tractors, Utility Vehicles, Excavators, Carriers and Wheel Loaders) and a KED 10% discount off the Canadian MSRP of any Kubota branded attachment (loaders, backhoes etc). "

Details can be found at Kubota canada's website under the "inside Kubota" tab.

I joined one of the groups for $50 and bought the tractor the next day.

Now you got my attention I didn't think it was THAT easy! So how much did you save going that route? Were you forced to pay cash or something like that? The dealer obviously didn't mention this rebate..

I just pulled the trigger on an M7040 HSDCC. I paid 91.5% of the US MSRP for an identically equipped tractor off the USA website. That works out to about $2500 above 85% of US MSRP.

At that price difference it wasn't really worth doing anything different for me. I'm working with a REAL good local dealer who is giving me VERY good prices on all the equipment (tractor and some implements) I am trading in and very fair prices on new implements I am purchasing.

Don't get me wrong - I'd rather keep that extra $2500. However it has been more than worth the reduced hassle transporting across the border, price of transportation, clean one shot deal being able to trade in all my equipment and have it replaced in a single transaction.

Hopefully others here in Canada will be able to find dealers to work with.

I probably should have looked into what the Canadian MSRP is for these items but I expect it is higher than the US MSRP so the equine discount of 18% off Canadian MSRP probably is not far from what I'm paying.

Well the problem is where do you get canadian MSRP prices. Besides the tractor price itself which you can guess by the "starting at" mention on kubota.ca, there's no way to know the implements price... So you have no way to compare with the deal you got :-/

Yep.. and I'm not going to lose sleep stressing about it either. I think I got a fair deal on the new machine and a very fair deal on my trade. I plan to enjoy my tractor when it gets here!

Oh forgot to say Congrats in the last message :thumbsup: I'm sure you'll enjoy your new tractor!! I'm about to pull the trigger too, I can't wait because just like you I won't have to worry about prices and options anymore :laughing:
