I guess if I had cash then the zero financing offered at Kubota would be mitigated, then again If I did have cash I would still use their money to keep my cash. Selling new with low hours is a crap shoot.
I'm just north of Seattle and would not consider any price less than 25% off, at 31,300, that's 23,475. (and I have 4 active quotes for that unit with
BH77 and implements in the works). We are going to wait a few weeks to see if 60 month at 0% comes back before the 48 month @ 0% goes away at the end of March. It's a great machine, I guess you want top dollar, that's your right, but at some point I also want to build a relationship at a local dealer.
When it's all factored in, I would require 33% off to pull the trigger (I need Ag Tires), but I value warrantee, relationship and knowing where it's been over saving a few thousand dollars.
I was also told that selling a CUT with a BH is much harder. How many post advise new BH inquiries to rent it, not buy it. (I'm in your group and know I will get a lot of use out of the BH). Recently, I drove a used Craigslist 2010 JD 2520 with BH and low hours and he ended up selling without the hoe, and that hoe is still for sale. You might have to explore breaking it up to move the bulk of it fast, at a premium price (given the current financing options).
