Buying Advice Raising prices March 1st, or just sales tactic

   / Raising prices March 1st, or just sales tactic #21  
Interesting. I visited my dealer yesterday and he was able to further discount the L45 by $3500 and the L4400+BH by $3400. I believe these were due mostly because the of strong CDN$.

This may end up true. I just visited the Kubota site and the "Build My Kubota" option is currently down for maintenance.

The sales fellow from my Kubota dealer called Feb 24 to tell me he heard Kubota will be coming out with discounts on some models soon. He did not know when or which models. I wonder if it is deeper discounts on models such as the L3400 which are being discontinued.

In mid January he gave me one quote on an L3400 HST and came back a few days later with a better price on one they have in stock. I am more interested in an L3540 and he did not change the quote for that.

It seems to me Kubota has "spring specials" in April and I said I will at least wait until then.

I have a 1981 L275DT which works fine but am considering an upgrade to something fancier and easier to start and operate (will get HST). So, if I buy, I will opt for the Lxx40 series for the additional features.

I got the impression the discount information would be out soon, but it is just a rumour. The sales fellow is going to some Massey training course (in Arizona I believe) this week and wanted to let me know before he left.

ugh..

okay all.. there is no special timing or secret incentives that anyone knows about. Its impossible to time a tractor purchase. Anything your told or hear (except this 3% thing) is usually a hunch. Not even our sales reps seem to know whats going to happen until after it does. Program changes depend more on things like dealer inventory levels and montly/quaterly goals than they do on any special tme of year. If you want a tractor, just buy it and don't stress about trying to time a purchase. The odds of prices going up (as they just did) are just as good as them comming down.
