Am I getting RIPPED OFF OR GOOD DEAL Massey GC2410 Value-Looking to purchase

[nhironworks]

Hi Folks. I am looking for a second smaller tractor for a multi rental property I have. I have a larger l series Kubota I use for bigger projects. I came across a Massey Furgusson GC2410 TLB with a belly mower. about 250 hours, a 2010 model. I can buy it for 10k private sale. Thoughts?? Thanks!

Sounds like the JD TLB that is on all CL ads. My son chased his tail with one a few months back. Had a lot of pictures of an almost new machine for a third of its true value as somebody died and got to clean out the homestead immediately.
Bet you have to send a deposit till the owner can get back in town to hold it since it is so cheap.

That could be real. It looks like they were about $17k brand new, 15 years old, $10k used doesn’t sound out of line.

Did you actually go see it, or did you find an add somewhere on the net ? If you actually got a chance to check it out up close, make sure it is paid off before buying it privately. If you buy thru a dealer, I believe you are protected and don,t have to worry about that part of the deal. Give us more details, and you might get better feedback. WHATEVER YOU DO, IF THIS LISTING IS NOT LOCAL, AND YOU ARE NOT TALKING FACE TO FACE WITH THE SELLER, DO NOT SEND MONEY, NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE FOLKS AT THE OTHER END SEEM TO APPEAR, OR THE BS ABOUT SEND MONEY RIGHT AWAY CAUSE THERE ARE MANY OTHERS VERY INTERESTED IN IT.

15 years old, pretty good chance it’s paid for.

How would you know the last guy that bought it didn,t take a loan out on it to purchase it ?
it would be nice to know the complete history and how many owners it has had.

If that is a real ad, that's a good deal.

I can't even imagine asking this question.

Is it the tractor you want feature wise?
Have you compared the market IN YOUR AREA for other tractors of it's type and capabilities? )Craigslist , FB marketplace?
Is it in good shape, or is it in need or repairs (tires based on age)?
Can you handle those needs?
Is it within your budget?
Can you get it to your location?

The value of anything is determined by
What is needed
Where it is needed
and when it is needed.

Banter on the internet just wastes time.
