B2601 New vs used

[pipefitter]

I'm looking at upgrading a bit from my BX23 to a 2601. My dealer has a used 2601 bought new by one of their mechanics and traded on a larger tractor. It looks new, has 208 hours, and 4 years left on the warranty. They're asking $18,400. A new tractor similarly equipped, is about $21,300. Of course neither price includes taxes. Do those prices sound reasonable? Thanks!

I personally would want to see a bigger discount on the used one.

Yeah, $2,900 isn't much of a savings.

208 hours and 4 years left on the warrantee is a sweet spot in buying any tractor if you can agree on a price (and if it is in really good condition when you inspect it.) Make them an offer.

The used one looks great. I thought at first it already had a third function valve, but it doesn't.

Now, if they toss in a 3rd function...

So does it have a loader (I assume so...)?

At those prices ... I'd go new!

I made an offer of $17,000 or $18,400 if they'd toss in the 3 function. They didn't bite. New is starting to sound better. And both do have the QA bucket.

Thinking about it, that could be what is owed on the loan.
