I don't know these guys at Kwic, but I do know a few guys he competes with that sell Jinma. Kwic's prices were really low and he didn't do the extensive setup needed to make a Jinma a decent tractor. They all said "he can't continue at these prices and service levels, it just won't work". They were right of course.
This is not too unusual, a "dealer" will come along with a flashy website and super low prices and people will flock to him. As his profits aren't enough to actually sustain a business, he starts to go under. (again, I don't know the Kwic guy at all, so this is just general experience) Then he takes orders in advance with a deposit. Then he requires a huge deposit, maybe 50%. Then he requires 100% paid up front....you see the guy needs to make his payments on his building, his truck, payroll taxes, income taxes, utilities, vendors, etc. So he gets in a bind and uses the deposits to pay these things, not to buy tractors. He sees through rose colored glasses and feels success is right around the corner, so often a guy like this actually doesn't think he is doing wrong. Then it all comes tumbling down. I've seen this several times with Yanmar's also.
The moral of the story, buy from a reputable dealer. You'll have to pay a little more. Buy what is already in stock, or if it has to be ordered, you normally do not have to put down more than 10%, unless it is some real special item that the dealer otherwise would not stock.
Just some thoughts.
