I'm a dealer, we do that because every person does not get the same price. If you trade in, price different. If you dont have good credit, price different. If you pay cash, price different. If you finance, price different.

Hard to include all that in one price.

There you go , 4 prices on a machine . And you are not making any money on the trade in , you are doing them a favor ? What do you care about credit , are you financing ? Send me your lending institution info . Kevin .

So if I come in to pay cash for a tractor your going to charge differently based on my credit score? If that is the case I would expect a huge discount on the price for my 815 credit score.

Regarding Kubota, they only allow dealers to advertise MSRP pricing on 3rd party websites. Dealers tend to "self police" other dealers, and advertising below MSRP will earn a dealer a phone call from Kubota very quickly. And as we all know, MSRP is meaningless to quote.

Even a listed price is usually negotiable. So why not put a price? Usually it's too high, that's why. Or maybe put another way, it's not a real bargain that would attract a buyer.

Anyone know how many dealers go out of business each year?
Anyone know how many start each year?
I know there have been two dealers in my area that I did business with that I did not like and I guess others had the same feelings because the dealers have gone out of business.

Shouldn't be too hard to specify "Cash Price" so nobody gets confused.

The few tractors I've been interested in on TractorHouse haven't been "negotiable" at all as far as price goes. The prices are a little high but the dealers seem to be firm on the pricing. I've seen some of the same tractors on that site for over a year now and that's expensive for the price TH charges to list.

You'd like to think so, but confusion is a daily occurrence even when things are spelled out in bold lettering. If we dont have different prices for different situations we will loose some of the time.

For an explanation before everyone gets upset further, see below.

Each machine on the yard has a bottom dollar price. However, anything above this is dependent on several factors. If you have a trade, you usually dont get as good of a deal on the machine, we make our money on the trade and not on the machine. If you have bad credit, you arent going to get as good of a deal on the machine, we have to incur the risk of lending a tractor to you and then you default on the loan and then we have to repo a used tractor. If you are paying cash, you get the rebate. If you are financing, you dont get the rebate.

If you guys think its just easy to give everyone in every situation the same price, you are sorely mistaken. Its just not that simple. Every customer gets treated with honesty and respect at our dealer, but every customer with every situation may not get the same price.
