Kubota B2920 2011 - 2012 Price difference?

[gabrichter]

I had opportunity to purchase a 2011 Kubota B2920 which dealer stated was new for a certain price but had 24 hours on it but quoted me new price for it. I requested a new one with 0 hours and they have to go back and check what the 2012's if there is a price increase as that was the only one in stock. Anyone out there that can verify if prices are same or if there was an increase, before dealer calls back.

I do not know, but any difference should be absorbed by the dealer. You ordered a new machine for his quoted price, you got a used one. I would worry about future service needs, can you now trust this guy?

Normally tractors don't go by year model like cars and trucks, so there may or may not be a significant price differential oe way or the other depending on when they were delivered.

You, however, got a used machine and I would not pay new price for a used tractor.

My understanding is that there will be a price increase on February 1.

My brother is working on a deal on a MX5100 right now and that was a 'horizon date' for him to put money into the deal or pay the new price, whatever that may be.

I had the same situation back in 2008 when we bought our new in the crate BX2660. It was bought in April and was the next to the last one in stock, the price was going to be higher on the next shipment.

Our dealer does not go by dates, but rather what it costs him, so if a tractor was in stock, the price did not go up when there was a general price increase.

My dealer is willing to hold the price IF he puts money in the ring.

My brother is loking for the tractor, backhoe, box blade, forks, PHD, and a few other toys.

The dealer will hold the price on ALL of the equipment if he buys the forks.

Technically, the dealer could hold the price because that's what he bought it for, but why should he if he can get more money for the same thing?

Has the dealer called back?

I would not except someone telling me I have to pay more money for the tractor I paid for. I'd either go to a local Kubota rep or tell the dealer I want my money back and go to another dealer or another brand (nothing against the tractor but I'd be POed if I had to pay more than what I was promised)

Also as others have mentioned, how are you supposed to trust this dealer down the road with other problems with your tractor, different warranty issues etc. They make it right or get your money back and go elsewhere.

One thing noted that I see a few posts thinking I have bought the 25hr B2920, I have not yet because I was told new tractor before I looked at it and seen the 25 hours prompting me to request a new one with no hours. Just to clear things up. FYI they said 17,500 on that unit described as new. FEL and 60" mmm.

That is why I use my dealer, he is more interested in treating the customer fairly than making a few extra dollars. It has paid him well in our case as we have bought three tractors and some equipment there.

He has been in business for well over 50 years.

Had visit from sales man on new 2012 B2920.
2 weeks ago quoted 20k for new B3200 with 60 mmm and FEL.
17,500 on "new" B2920 with 60"mmm and FEL in question on this topic
to order in new 2012 B2920 with 60"mmm and FEL 20K
Wish the origional deal was 17,500 on B2920 with 0 hours not 25 hrs and dirty with few scratches ect... maybe too picky. What do I do? can't really afford the 20K?
