Price Check Used BX1850 price check

15pbc · Mar 22, 2009

I got a "web quote" (list price I imagine) for the base machine of $8,257.00. Since LBrown59 can buy it for $7,735.00 I suppose the street price for the machine I've been offered (it's "web quote" is $19,492.00) new today is around $18,200.00.

Of course that's for wherever LBrown59 lives near Canton, OH. I doubt if the discounts are better here in New England.

So any way I look at it that's a teriffic deal; as soon as my soon-to-be-ex neighbor is home again I believe I'll go give him a deposit.

And gee LBrown59, if I knew all about these machines I wouldn't have to ask...

[FONT=Frutiger SBIN Bd v.1]What I'm trying to say is figuring my dealers 1850 and your neighbors 1850 at $7735 means you are picking up 4 very expensive implements for only $265 in the $8000 price your neighbor gave you. [/FONT]
[FONT=Frutiger SBIN Bd v.1]You're stealing that tractor and attachments so jump on the deal before somebody else beats you to it and you find yourself kicking your back side for dragging your feet[/FONT] [FONT=Frutiger SBIN Bd v.1].[/FONT]

With all the attachments he offering to go with it at 8 k ?!!! What are you waiting for ? If you dont take it , I will

. The 1850 is a very nice machine. The mower and FEL alone makes the 8k worth every penny. Having a snowblower is a really nice addition and I bet once you use it, you will never sell the blower for a plow.

The way the kubota runs is really nice and make you feel like a king mowing ,clearing snow etc.

I'll just add that if that deal was listed on craig's list or e-bay, I'd be reporting it as a possible scam. Now, where does your neighbor live?

$13,000 is a decent price.

$11,000 is a GREAT price.

$10,000 is a firesale.

$8,000 is just good ol' fashioned armed robbery. The six-shooter kind...none of this automatic weapon stuff...

I paid $15,000 for about the same setup (less the snowblower) in the higher HP version of the previous generation tractor...fairly equivalent to today's 2350/2360, which I believe commands a $2,000 premium today. Take the $2,000 off for the 18 vs. 23 HP, then add it back for the barely used snowblower. Honestly, value retention is pretty exceptional with these things. I'd think a small premium on your knowing the history.

If he takes $8k, that rocks. I'd offer him up to $10k or $10.5k before I'd tell him to try and sell it on the open market. In today's climate, I bet he comes back to you in 2 weeks and accepts $10k.

Plus maybe these things depreciate like a rock, I just don't know.

The BXs are great .
If they weren't I would not own these 3.

I think it is super awesome that you have three of them. But I will always find a bit of humor in having 3 of the same thing.

BMW's hold their value really well, too. That's why I have a 2002 325i, a 2003 325i, and a 2004 330i.

Not.

Sorry...we agreed not to go over this any more. My bad.

Hi fellow machine lovers,

I've been offered a Kubota BX1850 by a neighbor who has to move quickly. It seems in teriffic shape, I've seen him use it and he treats it gently; it's stored indors; it looks like it drove off the showroom floor.

It comes with a LA203 FEL; a RCK54P23BX Fine Cut mower; a GCK60-23BX 3 bag grass catcher and a BX2750C front mount snow blower with the chute adjusting motor.

Can any of you guys tell me if $8,000.00 is a good price for this (as I suspect it is)?

Thanks in advance,
Larry
