Buying Advice ym2000BD is the price right?

[rmully]

Call Fredricks and tell them what you want and what you have to spend, maybe they will make you a good deal.

Ok Fredricks is also much higher in price. According to their pricesheet. The 2000bd at fredricks is $5861 plus $3195 for the loader =$9056 versus my current deal of $7700. Also comparing fredricks price on the 1700d is $5517 plus $3195 for the loader =$8712 versus the current deal at this nearby dealer of $6800. I just can't see a domestic recon and koyker loader being worth $1300 or $1900 more. Are the VN's really that scary? Maybe there is a price run-up that is making this difference? If so screw the stock market and buy tractors....lol.

The old saying.. You get what you pay for. A Fredricks Tractor or a V N Tractor your choice. I know what mine would be

I think the point is that there is no real advantage to buying a refurbished tractor from anyone unless you are just into shiney new paint jobs. My observation over the past ten years is that they are no more trouble-free than others straight out of the shipping containers.

May have trouble with V N Tractor may not. My question would be . Is the seller going to stand behind you when you do have a problem ? I know for a fact Tom Will

Make sure you tell Fred. Dealer Rep. were your getting it from Your get a out of that. But may Get you Dealer Cost .

Guys you think I know who he's dealing with

Carey

If you'd like to know who it is, I'd be happy to tell you. Carey. I just didn't want to give press to him until I was satisfied with the deal.

 

[careyo63]

Why Not!!!!!!

 

[Survey1]

Carey I sent you a PM with the name. I just don't wish to start touting a dealer name publicly when clearly this may not be the place I end up dealing with. No name = no advertising

 

[Survey1]

That bad ehh? ****.....lots of complaints I suppose?

Reconditioned yanmars regardless of VN or USA are overpriced to call them good deals anymore.

The price difference is probably because of the warranty, however you could buy the VN machine and fix ALOT of issues with the $1900+ you save!

If you want a "deal" on a yanmar find yourself a used one on craigslist, they are on there all the time, if you have a 9,000 budget buy a lightly used 10yr old kubota or deere.
