Tractor
Few John Deere's and one Ford 3600 diesel.
I am having to sell one of my tractors because I need to buy a skid steer. Stinks because I just bought this tractor a little over a month ago and have enjoyed it. I've thought about selling one of my other tractors but I use them too much and even though I use this 5325 I use it the least out of all my tractors. I looked over all the other 5325's on Tractorhouse to get an idea and prices are all over the place. I put on a price that I think is fair for the condition it's in, the hours, and the features it has. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't asking too little or too much and what should be my price I stand firm at? I'm thinking not to move too much off of $27k to be honest. I was already offered $22k by some guy on Craigslist who claimed he "buys and sells tractors for a living" and acted like I insulted him when I turned down his offer and came back with $27. Sorry, dude, I'm not knocking off 5 grand just so you can sell it for a $10k profit. Then he started his speal about "he's taking all the risk" and I was like "how so? you contacted me, I didn't approach you." I also priced it the way I did because Tractorhouse is charging me $200 a month to list this thing and I don't have time for tire kickers and dickering. I figured the price should bring in a serious buyer.

Anyone have a chance to look and give me an opinion?

Bob, I don't have the experience to price it, but it is a good looking utility tractor, and I would think it would sell pretty quick.

How much can one expect to pay for that new?

I looked at all the other 5325's That are for sale and tried to list mine for the options it had and condition it was in for what I thought is a more then fair price. Got one call so far but he's just a tire kicker I assume because he said he wanted to come look at it yesterday afternoon and I never heard from him.

Well they don't make the 25 series anymore. You'd have to compare it to a 5065m and I'm seeing those with prices well in the 30's and no loader or power reverser.

Not sure what you paid for the machine but I thought you mentioned more than what your asking now. I would think what ever you paid for it you should be able to get back minus the shipping cost.

Good looking tractor at a fair price. I'd say leave it as is for a while. If it doesn't sell in a month, you can always drop it a little. (lot easier to go down than up ;) )

I agree with Bigfoot, if your not in a hurry to sell, someone will come along that really wants that model.

Are you the one that posted about your buying experience not long ago? Did you buy this from a distant dealer and you were really happy with the dealer and buying process?

I'll tell ya, if I could sell my tractor, I could reeeaaaly be interested in yours!
