Good deal on 2554?

[mingo]

My local dealer has offered me a 2006 model 2554. It has 80 hours on it and is excellent condition. His asking price is 2500.00. Should I jump on it?

A new one is $4425. I'd say that's a good deal.

I missed out on the deal of a lifetime on a 2554 last week. Two years old and it came with the rototiller, snowblower, and bagger for $3200 obo. I had just bought a 2550 last month. At least I got the bagger from him for $175 and it was only used twice.

That guy lost his hiney on that deal.
The tiller alone is priced at $3500

Unless it was the same kind of tiller you had, which is worth a lot less.

There was only 1 tiller available for a 2006 I believe.

Yep. However, if you recall the stories you were telling back then, you purchased your GT2554, tiller and blade for less than what a dealer could buy them for. When pressed on this, you informed us that the tiller you got was an older, discontinued mechanical one that retailed for $800 or so, not the expensive hydraulic one.

Yeah but; If you buy a new GT 2554 and Want a tiller front blade and Ag tires You will have around $9280 in it with tax because that tiller is no longer available.

Try to stay on target, LB. I thought you dropped all the left-turn-out-of-nowhere conversation antics a while back.

EX said the tractor was 2 years old. The original purchaser had just as good a chance at getting an old, discontinued tiller as you did, which is why I pointed that out. He may have lost his hiney, but not necessarily to the tune of ~$9K. If he got a similar deal to yours, he put less than $6K into it, like you claimed to have done way back when.
