Well... first impression is - "good price"!
Many times those first impressions are just "fresh paint" and "tire black"! Not worth much after a few hours in the field...
Have you been able to look the tractor and attachment over? Sit in the seat and fire 'er up?
I'd hang onto my wallet until you've had a chance to give everything a good, going over.

I have not seen the tractor yet in person. That is the problem it is about 4 hours away. I only want to go once. Kind of a long trip with truck and trailer if I don't come home with a tractor. Anything in particular I need to check out with this model?

An 8-hour round trip that may have you come home empty handed is still far cheaper than spending $20k on something that may not be right for you. Go look before committing to purchasing.

AK and mjncad are both offering wise advice...suggest you heed it!
Now, if you can carry that asking price in cash....well, then, if you think the tractor is what you want...you can dicker.
I'd be a little leery of a cash deposit and pick it up later...if the seller isn't a man of his word and sells it to aother person, you're likely have trouble getting your deposit back (especially true if this is an out of state deal).
So, if you do decide to go look and possibly purchase, be prepared to bring the tractor back. You can't bring all those implements back at one time (unless you have a really big trailer) so hold off on paying for the ones you don't need immediately. Basically, pay for the tractor and the implement you want to bring back. The seller may balk...but you have to protect your interests (and your money).
By the way, those implements (other then the loader) are worth no more then $3000 combined...even if they are a "brand" name.
As far as what to look for...if you're familar with equipment, you already know what to look for. Haven't read any major issues with the new Deere 4x20 tractors. They have a Deere built engine that has a great reputation.
Good luck, and be prepared to walk away if that isn't the machine for you.

Listen to the good advice provided above. The condition is everything IMHO. Maybe not a good benchmark, but I recently sold a 4120 e-hydro w/400x loader less than 500 hrs. (72" bucket) and a 74" box blade for $17,500. The tractor was fully serviced and very clean, rubber was in about 60% condition. I feel I got a decent price for it and the buyer got a good deal.
One thing I would mention is, I'd ask to see the owner's documentation of when he purchased the tractor - make sure there is no lien through JD Credit, etc. Good luck with it!

I have a 2009 4320 and have been very happy with it. But that price seems just a tad high to me. For a 20K investment, an 8 hour trip to check it out ain't to much of a time investment imo. Good luck.

In today's economy though, I would not make an offer I was not willing to pay.

That seems like a REALLY good price to me. On tractorhouse, similar packages are going for $23k+.
Others have given good advice. I would make the trip with the largest trailer you can pull. If you like it, buy it, and bring it all home. If you don't like it, drive home with an empty trailer.
