I Hate To Even Think This, BUT

[Git-R-Done]

Many of you know how hard it is to make a decision on which tractor when first time tractor buyer/owner. At the time of purchase dealer said just take paper work with you and will get pw signed and check $$$ when I deliver Tractor with FEL on Monday today. We are waiting on the MMM which was at the time apprx 6 weeks out and he wanted me to have the tractor in the mean time. This AM he calls and says MMM should be shipped this Fri and he can have tractor with FEL & MMM to me the following Friday so in 2 weeks. I agreed to just wait 2 weeks for delivery.

Here is the "I hate To Even Think, BUT" part: The contract has not been signed would I be wrong IF IF(not saying would) I changed my mind and bought a different tractor? Would I be a sorry piece of cr....?

We have a very successful business man that as his pitch it is "buy it today have it delivered tonight" JUST to keep from falling into the buyers remorse or second thoughts.

The reason I ask is NOT that I have found a tractor I like better, but I am still looking and reading and IF I did reconsider my purchase?

Please don't make me feel to bad or not worthy to be a member here on TBN!

Well we each have to do what we think is "right", so I won't tell you what you should do.

I personally wouldn't unless something changed in the deal, like the MMM was different, or wasn't drive over autoconnect, etc.

Unless I was going through same dealer and asked him about going UP in tractor size... or some other "upgrade" that I hadn't thought I needed before.

First time buyers are going to have second thoughts. You are going to second guess yourself 9 times out of 10 no matter what.

Even if you change your mind, call off the original deal and get a different tractor you will probably second guess your decision to get the different tractor.

old friend told me one time, after you buy or commit to buying, stop shopping and go with what you decided.

I doubt that you could be legally held to the deal based on what you said.

Yea, but it was agreed on kinda like a handshake. I was just curious what others think. I doubt I would back out as I did do much research before making my decision and agree about best to stop looking/shopping.

As long as you've not actually used the equipment, why not. But if you have in fact used it, it's no longer the new equipment you purchased but is now used equipment. That's just might thoughts and certainly not legal advice.

Once upon a time, that meant everything.

"First time buyers are going to have second thoughts."

First time buyers often make second purchases.

If you have second thoughts and want a different tractor from the same dealer. He should be OK with that. I'm sure you would not be the first to have second thoughts...

If you want a different tractor from a different dealer. That, in my mind, is a little tougher deal. You shook hands - he has made a deal based upon your decision. If this is the case - I would approach the dealer and see what he has to say. He won't be happy but maybe you can make a good case.

Don't know what you're after.

On one hand, you say you're a weak person (fell for the sales pitch) and then say your word means nothing to you. I don't get it. YOU have to decide if you want the tractor and where you'll get it serviced/repaired. No one here can bail you out.

Still does for me. I guess it’s an “elbow bump” now?
So ridiculous

 

[oosik]

Yes - I shake hands on the purchase of a tractor - I have sealed this deal. Same with my truck. My only caveat. I added more implements along with the purchase of my M6040. Salesman was more than pleased to handle this.

If you welch on the deal, you have just told the dealership your word is no good. For Christ's sake, make up your mind and stick with your decision.

Tractor your thinking about from the same dealer? if so talk to them.

How about just being honest with the dealer? See if there's a way to an agreed upon change. If you're on the hook then you're on the hook. Worst case you lose a thousand bucks or two: you can always sell something! Rarely does one get something that one holds on to for the rest of their lives (well, given one is younger). Things are appropriate until they are not. The future just ain't what it used to be (no way of knowing for certain, REGARDLESS of your best efforts to evaluate a purchase such as this, how well and for how long your decision will hold up).

Impulse buying can be exhilarating, while long-drawn-out purchases (nearing analysis-paralysis) are anything but. It's a lot about spending one's time and energy: spend it up-front before purchase or spend it later post-purchase.

When I bought my RTV-1100 a few years back it was through a discussion with the dealer, with a set of tracks as well. He didn't have one I wanted in stock, found one in Texas to bring to Minnesota. I was in no hurry to receive it, was in beginning process to build a garage, where it was to be stored. (unrelated to this purchase) About two weeks after we agreed to terms on the RTV, no paperwork just verbal, the builder forgot to include $45k of spancrete into my garage quote, and let me know four days before the excavation was to start. I cancelled the project, and had no where to store my RTV. I needed a higher garage door for the UTV with tracks, it was to be stored two hours from my home unattended.

I felt terrible but called the dealer and asked to cancel my agreed-to purchase, he was very understanding. He said he would have no issue selling it once it came in. Well, I slept restless for the next two nights. Felt horrible. Called him up on day 3, and told him I'd take it and figure something out. He told me it wasn't necessary, but I felt it was. Found a neighbor who traveled south for the winter and he allowed me to keep the RTV in his home garage for the first winter. Ended up purchasing land, and built a pole barn. All worked out perfect in the end.

I recently purchased my first tractor. I went through the same process-deal was made with a handshake and signed the paperwork upon receipt. During the time I was waiting for delivery, I had buyer's remorse as well. Did I spend too much? Should I have gone with another brand? Is it big enough? Is it too big? And so on...

I did my due diligence in researching the brands and dealers. I got what I believed was a good deal. When I received my tractor and started using it, all the buyer's remorse disappeared and I'm very happy with my purchase.

This.

If they ordered a mmm for you so they've invested in you. And you gave them the order to do it, good faith on their part and should be equally good on your part.

I 'Fell" for nothing and it was just a thought while I was waiting and looking on the forum.

Some seem to not be reading the IF & NOT part and seeing this as merely a hypothetical post.

My dealer would not care. He sells inventory very quickly.

The bigger issue is you and how you feel about yourself.

BTW, I am going through the same issue but with a ZT. Placed the order over a week ago...verbal agreement. I keep thinking "I do not need a $5500 mower". Normal to wonder WTF am I doing. I will complete the purchase. Looked for a long time and I picked a good machine and a good dealer. Wanted to stay in the $4000-4500 range but I get a lot more machine for the extra $$. At 70 it will be my last mower so spending another $100/yr seems insignificant. And if I do not make it to 85, it won't matter anyway.
