yep, Im shure the dealership has one.

really i have never seen a tractor sold at RRP, the reason they wont disclose the information you you are after is so that you dont have the upper hand when it comes to bargaining the deal. it is easy for the customer if he knows the buy price.

I'm attaching an Acrobat Reader file that I grabbed last spring from Rural Life Magazine's website. If it doesn't have what you need, the website address is at the bottom of each page. Hope it helps.

when i posted i was actually talking about the bit at the top of your link which talked about the dealer margins etc. i sorta doubt if kubota or the dealers want the general public to know this. like i said its been a long time since i saw a machine sell for RRP.

In my wanderings here on TBN, I've generally heard that John Deere tends to stay at 10% or less off List Price. Kubota tends to stay around 13-15% off List Price. I didn't pay much attention to any other brands so can't help you there. But with this info, I could look at List Price and make a fairly good assessment of what I would have to pay and/or what might be a good price.

the dealers (well here in OZ anyway) can get a better discount if they buy ahead or buy a few of the same model. there fore a larger dealer or one which is really switched on may possibly be able to give you a better deal. the oldest trick in the book is to ask for a cash price with no trade, then ask about the value of the trade a bit later. the salesmen hate this because they cant shuffle the money around so it looks like they are giving you a good price for the trade. just about guarantees they are on bottom dollar straight away, as opposed to the 4th visit which is the normal

Should have a price configurator up and running soon, I have used the prototype and it is nice, allows you to spec the tractor the way you want it.

Not true if you consider trades seperately as we do.
I give you a price for the new tractor (with or without trade) and a true value for your trade based on the guide, experience, and wholesale value so we won't be stuck with a "yard turkey".

All of our tractors have a posted price much lower than MSRP. These prices reflect any early/quantity order discount we receive. It also insures that you get a good starting point when negotiating.

We do not play games at our dealership!
