Kubota cash discount?

[lombardi3g]

Dealer offers kubota zero interest financing w a hard sales pitch. When I probe I learn that without kubota financing there is a $5,000 discount. But the $5,000 seems to be slippery - in my notes of 2019-2020 it was $4,000 and before that $5,250. Like it’s negotiable but I’m being told it’s a Kubota corporate fiat. So what’s really going on? How much is Kubota paying/crediting the dealer if the farmer pays cash?

The cash discount is tied directly to the series of tractor as I understand it. Then there is a separate discount for 0% and traditional financing I believe. I doubt anyone could tell you how much Kubota vs the dealer is really going to kick in on the final price as there are soo many variables. Especially out in CA someone is going to eat more freight costs than say someone in GA right next to the plant so there's that much less flexibility.

When I was pricing a $60,000 CTL the discount was only like $3,000.
