I wonder if that jerk thought a comment like that would make you more inclined to make your next tractor purchase from him.
I recently moved up here to Oklahoma from Texas where I had purchased a new Dodge truck. The first month I was here the transmission went out. I called a local dealership and they got me in that morning and had it properly repaired that afternoon. It was all covered under warranty and they were also very friendly.
My next vehicle may not be a Dodge, but if it is and these people are close to right on the price they will get my business.
As for this tractor dealer I would do as RICKR and not buy anything from him. Many here have said that is where the real money is made, on parts and service. What a businessman he must be!
When I bought my Kubota I had looked at both my local dealers and decided to go with one. When I called to tell them I would take it, the owner who I had not yet met answered the phone and had an attitude like he was doing me a favor to sell me the tractor. I told him thanks, hung up and immediately called the other dealer and ordered my new tractor. If they treat you like this before they get your money just imagine after. I wonder if some of these guys will ever get a clue how much money their own mouth and attitude lose them?
