Buying Advice DID I PAY TOO MUCH?

[fried1765]

I just agreed to purchase a 2006 Kubota L48 TLB from a private party,.... original owner.

The machine has 250 hours.(average 19.2 hours per yr.)

Has 3 rear remotes, plus one front remote with a splitter.

Has skid steer loader bucket with hydraulically operated connect/disconnect (no dismount necessary)

Has hydraulic thumb.

Backhoe bucket is quick disconnect.

3pt hitch and PTO

Tires 99%

Seat has small tear......I'll get it repaired

Never plowed in salt.

The machine appears to have no flaws, except for slightly faded paint (it is 13 years old).

32K........Too much ????......about right ????......Good deal ????

Well, new L47s in similar configuration are going for 50k. So prolly a good deal IDK. I don see to many of those on the market. B

Too late now! Enjoy it.

It sounds quite fancy with all the hydraulics and quick releases.

With all the options I don’t think so. The hydraulics on the front is a multi thousand option and the hydraulic thumb is another multi thousand option.

Crap. You've been in the game long enough that you wouldn't have agreed on the price for this rig... you know that 250 hours is just broken in, despite the age, AND it's not tier 4.

Therefore, only you can determine if you payed too much.

Personally, after I make the decision to buy anything = tractor, lawn tractor, implements, tools, ... you get the idea... I then forget about what I paid for it. It's 'second guessing' yourself. Don't put yourself through that.

Once I agree to do something, it IS 'too late' unless the other side changes something.

Drop it off at my house for a couple weeks and I will let you know if you paid to much.

So..... if you received a cancer diagnosis, had a heart attack, your house burned to the ground, or your wife cleaned out your bank account, before the deal was closed, you would still go through with it?
It still.... " IS too late" ????
ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!
You are an amazingly honorable person.
In my opinion,..... the ONLY really "too late", is after death itself!

As an aside: The seller is selling because he is 61 and has Parkinsons disease.
A very nice guy!
I am 78, so,..... who knows how long I will be around to play with my Kubota toy.
But.......I'm gonna git it !!!!!

Next on my agenda: Sell my completely restored Ford 3400 TLB, pristine 1981 VW diesel pickup, Haulmark cargo trailer, and 1902 doctor buggy.
Will help pay for the L-48, and free up storage space.
Craigslist/E-Bay.... here we come!
