Price Check L3240 GST price check please

[jwalk2c]

Hello,
Local dealer has a L3240GST that I was told has been on lot before Kubato price increase.
Tractor price is $15,150 and 42 months 0%.
LA515 loader $3,500 and also 42 months 0%.
I am fianancing $15,000.
Or a similar L3240 with DT trans can be had for aprox. $800.00 less.
I have not priced Kubuto's tractors in over two years but it if I remeber correctly I remeber seeing L3540GST's for about 15,000 a couple years back.
I would like to go with a L3540GST but not sure how much more to expect in price .
Anyway what are your thoughts on these prices?
And GST vs. DT transmission.
Or maybe that should be a thread by itself?
Buying locally would be nice.
Thank You

I bought a new L3240 with LA514 loader last year here in Hot Springs, Ar. for $16,500.00, then added a Woods Brush Bull BB60X rotary cutter for another $1,000.00 for total of $17,500.00 for all, delivered right to my front door. Mine has the 8 speed F & R shuttle transmission & I love it.

FYI: I'm in Maine and was recently quoted $19,190 for the Kubota L3240 GST with the higher capacity LA724 front loader and a heavy duty roundback bucket. I believe this is an "old" tractor already on the dealer's lot before the price increase.

I was recently quoted 20,100 for this tractor w/ heavy loader w/ HST on the FL panhandle and 15,500 for the L3400 in the same config.

I just today decided that the L3400HST I have been looking at for a week was not going to keep me happy. The dealer just put together a 3240HST that I stopped in to take a quick look at and said 21,600. I believe it had the 724 loader. I told him to put some specific numbers together with loaded tires and we'll see . My wife and daughters will be using this also, so the HST plus and tilt wheel will work well for tall me and short them. Funny thing is the wife and I are more used to old gear tractors but concerned the girls may go thru the barn with one. I don't get the spread in prices as you go south???
Do all the dealers pay the same for these tractors? I know boats tend to be less $$ as you go south. So far the dealer seems to be a likeable honest person-and I ran into a few real crooks in the last few months. I would take it real personal if I find out later that I got taken to the cleaners. Any other pricing info out there on this tractor?
