The dealer has been informed to ready my chariot!!!
My financing was approved. I just need to iron out the details of my downpayment, and final cost of the tractor.
I have the dealer down to 18600, dropping the 'premium warranty' (meaning free pickup & delivery for warranty work), and being able to drop some being a 'cash deal' by not financing through them.
He would go down another $400 by not loading the tires... making it 18200. That seems to be right in the price range I was seeing elsewhere.
I was able to sneak a look at his invoice for the tractor while he was off doing something, and honestly, he is not making much on the deal. I am comfortable with the price, and now I just need to arrange my down payment. I have most of what is needed, just need to make sure I have enough!
If all goes well, its possible I will have it on Saturday!!!
