Used L 3430 HST vs New L3240 HST

[rpraymond]

If I were deciding between the two I would compare the HST & the HST Plus. If both were acceptable I would go new. 0% is like free money. Plus, even though you probably wouldn't have any repair issues with either machine it would be some added security. Either way you will end up with a nice machine.
Now just go do it!!!
Good luck and have fun with whatever one you end up with.

Thanks rpraymond. I would "just do it", but it's not my money!

geedub, just show her the numbers man. the used tractor with 445 hours is still worth almost as much as the new one. if you were to pull two comparable cars to add to the explanation it would probably help (hint, hint)

The problem we men have is that we constantly expect women to respond to logic.

How about this strategy: take 2k of your money, go buy an old Ford 8n and let her see what a piece of crap it is. Let it break down and park it where it's a real eyesore. She'll get the hint!

Well, that's still kind of depends on logic, and me having 2k!

this one's probably cheaper, trouble is she'd have to be along every time you drove it:
