Buying Advice About to purchase a new DK4510

[Halfwayhomestead]

Just left the bank with the check for the agreed upon price for a new Kioti DK4510, $22000 w/ FEL no other options.

After some calling around and searching this site the price seem right, but this is my first new vehicle purchase and I want to make the salesman earn his check. Small town dealer in Maine that ordered in the tractor for me.

That being said we have a three day right to reneg here in Maine and I'm willing to walk away without handing over the check.

What do you guys think I can get fromore them. They are loading all four tires and attaching a reversible blade in the FEl. At very least I'm hoping to get these free, but I'm wondering if you guys think I could get more. Maybe throw in a pallet fork?

You agreed to a price with some freebies and if they keep their word maybe you should too? Service is a good part of a dealer. Mine answers any questions by email or phone.

He ordered the tractor for you and set it up after you agreed to a set price. I think he did his job.

Yep, I'm with the others on this one. You already agreed to a tractor and price. When they deliver the tractor you hand over the check.:2cents:

Chances are you are going to need this dealer in the future, he ordered the tractor for a price you already agreed upon so pay him.. If you wanted more than you are paying for you should have negotiated before he ordered it for you..

I'd have to agree with all of the above posters. Integrity is worth more than a set of pallet forks.

I know this because when I got home last week after picking up my trailer full of implements, I realized that I hadn't been charged for the HD 48" pallet forks I ordered. I immediately called my contact at the dealer/store and let them know about it. (You could hear the surprise in his voice...I think he figured that I must have had a problem). Anyways...my best advice is what I would do in any situation. A deal is a deal. If they honor their end, you should honor your end.

I couldn't agree more with all the above quotes . A deal is a deal , just like a hand shake was all it would take years ago .

“You could hear the surprise in his voice”. I had a similar experience and the surprise was your honesty, he is use to dishonest people! You made an impression and shined a glimmer of hope. Regards

I guess I'm wondering how you would react if the dealer called and said it's ready to pick up. When you get there something you agreed to is not done and he starts to renegotiate on the deal?

Free pallet forks??????

Really????

They are about 650 a pop on average YMMV.
If you wanted freebies that should have been part of the negotiation when price was agreed upon. To come back and hit up the dealer for freebies after the fact is just wrong on many levels.
This is the guy you will depend on for future warranty, repairs, maintenance support.
Don't shoot yourself in the foot before the ink even dries.
This will be a long term relationship.
There are countless benefits to having a good rapport with your dealer.

Learn from this and move on.
Good luck with your purchase the DK will serve you well, unless you treat your tractor like your treating your dealer.
