Buying Advice Bobcat 235 purchase

   / Bobcat 235 purchase #11  
Considering purchasing a 230 or 235 here in Minnesota. Unfortunately didn't get to seriously looking until after the FEL promo ran out. My quote seems substantially higher than prices I am seeing posted here.

The big price contributors are the FEL (basic unit + bob-tach + bucket = $4340) and dual rear hydraulics (bobcat site says $466, dealer quoted $808). They are also charging $200 for something called PDI and $780 for freight.

Total price quoted for a 230 w/ R4s, FEL (bob-tach + 60" bucket), mid-pto, dual-rear-hydraulics was $17900 after promo and dealer discount (excluding tax). When I price via bobcat website, it comes to $18750 so total dealer discount is around $850 from list. Is that typical?

I paid 15500 without rear hydros for a 235 2 months ago, so with the missing incentives, I would say its not to bad a deal
The rear hydros seem a little steep maybe the bobcat site is only listing parts.
You maybe able to get them to knock off a little labore, my dealer charges 80 bucks an hour

Seems a little high. When the big promotion was going on last year, I got mine for $13,500 with all the goodies. 3K more would be about right at this time. You may want to shop around some more.

Yep, that was my sense as well. Suspect I am simply too late for this party. In my case, not entirely certain the 235 will fit my needs and don't want to get stuck in a trade-up situation. Given the super aggressive pricing over the past year, imagine there would be an ugly drop in a value once it left the dealer (relative to the higher current pricing).
