How Much $$$ is Local Dealer Worth?

[fried1765]

To me a local dealer is worth nothing compared to any other dealer. You are looking for the best deal. Don't forget to factor in things like local taxes that might be owed from purchasing out of state. My state has no sales tax if you are buying a tractor for farm use (farms must be at least 10 acres and have a registered farm number). Check out your local laws for compliance.
However all things being equal, there should be no difference in price between local and any other dealer other than a few hundred $$ to cover different operating cost, taxes,etc. $3000 is way out of line. Maybe you could ask your local dealer an honest question about why so much difference.

ME TOO!

I don't live within 100 miles of ANY dealer anyway, and.....I can trailer my tractor anywhere, if it should be necessary.
