CT230 delivery times

[backwoodsmanone]

i am not exactly sure, but they produce them in series and "runs". The main reason they got so backed up was all the deals that bobcat offered.(not a strike in asia, they dont strike there) They review issues after the runs and make adjustments,changes,improvements. They are not simply scrambling to build more but they did engineer chasnges which took time. Trust me, i know its frustrating, but when you look at one from a year ago(even 6 months) you will see quite a difference as well as drivability. Be patient, you will be better off in the long run.

Well, how much did it cost you? Mine is still supposed to be shipped this month so I'm sticking it out. Was promised 10/5 and that came and went. Now the bobcat contact is telling the dealer it will ship this month for sure. I hope that's not from Korea.

I just read the other post, nevermind: $1400 huh. I sure hope that's at their cost. They better not be making more profit off you after making you wait for months.

I thought that someone was getting the 235 for $700 more? If the $700 figure is true, then someone, some how is getting an unfair deal.

The two machines have a differance in price of almost $1000. Bobcat let me use the $2500 rebate that was in affect in july. That put it at $2000differance, the dealer ate the rest to make it $1400 diiferance. Probably not the best deal to be had but I dont think I got bent over either. I wanted the 235 to begin with anyway. I just couldn't see waiting around for a machine that nobody knew when and if it would ever show up. Winter doesnt wait where I live. Plus now I got the deluxe seat

I don't quite follow your math. If the normal price difference is about $1000, which I agree is correct, plus you used a rebate and the dealer ate some of the price, how do you end up with an extra $1400? I paid an extra $700 to upgrade to a 235, which I felt was very fair, but each dealer seems to use a different number

Sorry. Because the 230 I ordered had a $3500 rebate, versus the $2500 hundred on the 235. The actual price differance is about $1000, plus the $1000 differance in rebate = $2000 differance.

My salesmen forwarded me an email from the Bobcat factory that 96 CT230 frames were delivered in the first week of October.

That means little to me now, but this tracotr will be a great christmas gift.

I'm assuming that means 96 delievered to the US and need to be assembled and shipped to dealers. Wonder if i'm lucky enough to be 1 of the 96? Dealer is just telling me this month now (it used to be week).
