Saving Money

[flusher]

When buying a new or used tractor, how far will you go to save money? Are you a sellers/dealers wet dream or do you fight tooth and nail for every last dime?

I rely on my 2008 Mahindra 5525 to run properly everytime I need it, so I bought it new. Good price from an excellent local dealer.

I do my most intense haggling over 30 to 60-year old tractors that I buy for restoration.

When I'm in the market to BUY anything I already have a price in mind. And I shop by all means, on foot the internet and by word of mouth. then I go for it.
I make an offer that's the deal. My last tractor purchase, I went to my local dealer and shopped, the told me, and he had one on the lot, $28,800, called another dealer, and he could get one with-in 2 days $23,500. guess who got the cash ? no brainer. but the 1st dealer gets to work on it. the 1st. dealer was going to keep the cash rebate as a sales bounus, so he lost out on the deal. he doesn't want to do the warentee work but agco says other wise.
but I don't have that problem yet, but he gets the cash for service work I have them do. And he still make some money from me. sometimes it's just easyer on me to have someone else do that, other times I do it myself.

Interested title , a new or used tractor should be paid more money than those simple things ,I used to compare with several shops at least 3 shops ,but I won't buy a new one unless that is more important ,as that would save more money .
