Good deal on 2554?

[mingo]

My local dealer has offered me a 2006 model 2554. It has 80 hours on it and is excellent condition. His asking price is 2500.00. Should I jump on it?

A new one is $4425. I'd say that's a good deal.

I missed out on the deal of a lifetime on a 2554 last week. Two years old and it came with the rototiller, snowblower, and bagger for $3200 obo. I had just bought a 2550 last month. At least I got the bagger from him for $175 and it was only used twice.

That guy lost his hiney on that deal.
The tiller alone is priced at $3500

Unless it was the same kind of tiller you had, which is worth a lot less.

There was only 1 tiller available for a 2006 I believe.

Yep. However, if you recall the stories you were telling back then, you purchased your GT2554, tiller and blade for less than what a dealer could buy them for. When pressed on this, you informed us that the tiller you got was an older, discontinued mechanical one that retailed for $800 or so, not the expensive hydraulic one.

Yeah but; If you buy a new GT 2554 and Want a tiller front blade and Ag tires You will have around $9280 in it with tax because that tiller is no longer available.

Try to stay on target, LB. I thought you dropped all the left-turn-out-of-nowhere conversation antics a while back.

EX said the tractor was 2 years old. The original purchaser had just as good a chance at getting an old, discontinued tiller as you did, which is why I pointed that out. He may have lost his hiney, but not necessarily to the tune of ~$9K. If he got a similar deal to yours, he put less than $6K into it, like you claimed to have done way back when.

You sure did .
A new GT2554 with just the tiller is about $8025 + TAX and that don't include the snowblower, and bagger.

BWAhaha! He might be just stuck in an all left mowing pattern. For the OP's benefit, yes, that price is good for a basically new 2554 if you want a deck that large. It would be absolutely insane to drop ~$3500 on a tiller attachment for one of these machines anyway.

So then that Makes A new CC a bad choice for anyone wanting a tiller right!

I would says so, but that's just my opinion. To me it wouldn't make sense to buy a 2500 series machine and a tiller that costs almost as much as the tractor itself.

This must be costing CC sales on 2500 series .

I don't really think that was to likely as the dealer got a hold of the one I bought by a long shot streak of luck at an auction.
