Hi Guys!
There is a 2810 manual trans for sale near me. No attachments. It is a 2000 model. He is asking $8000. Has 190 hours. Faded paint. Sat outside last 2 years. Ag Tires.

I am looking for some sort of blue book value on this model.

Anyone have issues with this tractor?

Thank you in advance!

Seems kinda high to me. Unless it is a AWESOME deal I'd buy new. 0% at 60 months or greater and a 2516 with a loader in the 12k range....

Who has a 2516 for 12k? I will stop buying from Mahindra and order from them.

I agree, I think that dealer needs a different calculator. $16200 even with free shipping and any early order incentive is under dealer cost. Maybe I should be buying from him vs Cub.

What is funny is putting me and "high priced dealer" together in the same sentence. If anything I am known as the exact opposite.. But it was a good laugh. Not sure why you would want to be so rude though. I wasnt.....

When I look in my price book and my cost is more than what is being posted that makes me a high priced dealer?? It is simple math. Then I hear the same BS, "it is because they are a high volume dealer" or "my dealer has magic crystals" and on and on?nd on. No amount of volume makes up for selling less than cost. The best yearend bonus is 3% for volume but doesnt fix selling 5% under cost. What actually happens is a dealer has his butt in a pinch and will turn a tractor or a bunch of tractors at less than cost to stay in business or they have two or even three year old models. What is really awesome is that dealers word becomes gold because his price is less. From now until the end of time anybody whose price is higher is a liar or a cheat.

By the way I never said it wasnt legitimate I just said I would like to buy from them. A 2516 w/loader at 0% for 60 month financing for 12k is a deal especially since you loose the CPR of 400.00 and the dealer has to pay Mahindra for the low rate. That would bring the actual retail price to the mid 11k mark and that is a DEAL!

To the original poster, I think that price is a bit high and coming from a high priced whiner like me that should say something.

Dealers in business for the long haul and doing it right will have higher prices than a guy about to fail who is trying to clear his credit line to pay the phone bill.

It takes a few percent of the gross margin to pay overhead, and if you then want to actually make a profit, you'll need to add that on top. A dealer in business for the long haul will pay his employees fairly, train them, give them benefits etc. Plus a business in it for the long haul will keep the shop stocked with the proper special tools, keep delivery trucks and forklifts updated, keep the building in decent shape, stock thousands in parts, and other overhead expenses.

A dealer that services what he sells will end up absorbing quite a few small things, as well as a certain amount of hauling and service calls. Most small warranty issues are absorbed by the dealer. When a customer leaves with a couple of hats and a t-shirt, that costs as well. All minor things, but if a dealer is selling at cost, he can't offer the sort of buying and owning experience that you can get from a dealer like EFC. Some customers don't care, they are price driven only, but most do care and a good dealer will offer the best value, not just the best price.

I think if another successful and healthy brick and mortar business in a similar geographical region is substantially less, then you have a fair argument. But in this economy if you shop far and wide, you can most likely find some dealer willing to sell below actual cost. That dealer is fooling himself into thinking that if he can just pay some of his bills for another month that somehow next month he can catch up.

I don't blame someone for taking advantage of a fire sale, but you need to know that it is a firesale, not a sustainable price. And that means that a dealer that is higher is often not a "high priced" dealer, he's just in it for the long haul.

Just my thoughts, from the bias of a dealer no doubt. :eek:

I wasn't trying to be rude about it but I guess it came across that way in text. I was laughing because you mentioned the same thing in other threads so I saw a trend ;) I think I got an excellent deal on my machine and am very happy with it and the dealer. Again I apologize if I came across as rude. Now that I re-read it I can understand why you feel that way :)

Nuff said. I appreciate your reply. You are right that I seem to be talking about this a lot lately. Finding the lowest price could be the main topic on TBN these days. You did get abnormally great price and I buy stuff also and I like to get a deal. The only problem is when it is advertised as the norm. Then a guy reads it heads to his dealer who might be the best dealer on earth but he gives a totally different price and then the dealer is instantly a crook.

How many times have you read a post where a guy went to the local dealer, was quoted what seemed to be an unbelievable price, felt a kinship with the salesman or the employees and couldn’t wait to get it home…. But then posts “just want to make sure this is a good deal”. 20 threads later, the dealer is screwing him, the bastard better throw-in (in no specific order) free shipping, free hat, shirt, loader, box blade, six oil filters, trailer, a spring and fall service with free delivery...again! Then spurring even more threads including the new self fulfilling prophecy buzz phrase “and in this economy........”

Sometimes there is more to a price than the cost. But also think about when a lower, then lower, then even lower price is posted who is it really hurting?.... It hurts the people who already own tractors like yourself. The value of your tractor is tied to new tractor prices. If somebody came to the board and said they bought the same tractor you own brand new for 9.5k (actually saw a dealer do this which is thousands under his cost) then your tractor is worth about 5k instead of about 8k if that is posted as the norm and not the once in a lifetime price that it was.
