I have a chance to buy a 2005 kubota 3030 with cab fel and woods 7.5 backhoe for $22500.00 from a private home owner. Its has 90 hours on it.
I was going to but new from the Dealer with 0 % financing.
The question is
Is there that much difference between a 2005 b3030 with cab verses a 2007 3030 with cab? and is that a good price.
Thank you for any information

That is not a bad deal, if you can get him down a little more i would call that a great deal!

I would think that is average to a little high. He probably paid 25k for it new. Trouble is, there are few deals on them. Demand is high and resale on a very low hour unit is also high. 90 hours is basically new.

I would ask to see his maintenance records / proof that the 50 hr service and the annual scheduled services were done. Then offer 22k for it, using the 500 for a full service.

He should have used up 4-6 tubes of grease if he hit all the grease fittings every 8 -10 hours of operation.

Since you do not accept PMs, I have no choice but to reply here.

This thread has been moved from the General Buying forum to the Kubota Buying forum. As the description of the General Buying forum indicates, do not post brand specific posts there. Brand specific threads belong in one of the brand specific forums.

Thanks,

He paid 30,000 for it new. I priced out what a new one would cost me now on Monday Dec 31 32,000.00 with the newer woods backhoe.
He did not do the 50 hrs service, he did grease it well though. I ended up paying 21,7500 I could not see paying 10,000.00 plus tax for basically the same tractor. I spent the day today servicing it and waxing it looks brand new One problem the loader is crocked it was one of the first ones.
I know I have to figure out how to straighten it. I really don't know how 22500.00 would be on the high side when new goes for 32,000

It's a good deal. Buy it if you want a nice machine. It will get gone sooner than later. Write the check tomorrow. By the time you shop, dicker, dilly-dally, end up looking at a dealer, and getting stuck with taxes, ....well you see my point...

It's a deal. The remaining warranty (if applicable) is transferable.

Those prices sound right for the northeast. I think you got a very good deal.
