Factory installed joystick for loader

[pjf]

Just received a quote on a 450

Dealer is wanting to charge me 1150.00 for "Factory installed joystick"

Did anyone else who got a quote or purchased a tractor receive this factory installed joystick charge?

Maybe a dealer could chime in

Thanks

When I was buying mine, I got quotes all over the place for different items. So I then realized I need to be shopping the bottom line. So my advice would be if yr bottom line isnt where you want to be then ask for the number you think is fair or just get 3 quotes and go from there.

Did any of your quotes have a joystick factory option for $1k ?

PJF, to be honest I dont even remember. I dont have my quotes here with me.

What was yr total bottom line price for what you wanted?

 

[pjf]

I'm in Canada so the price will be different

The joystick controller for my CT335 was quoted seperatly for $880.

Bobcat's pricing scheme seems to be ala carte. Ok you want the loader, did you want a bucket with that?

On my CT230 there were 2 packages "standard" and "deluxe". Both packages have the joystick as a standard item. The difference between the two is that the deluxe package has the mid-pto and rear SCV. The standard package was $635 while the deluxe package was around $1100. The dealer didn't itemize the joystick as a single line item because it was under the standard package option. Essentially, the joystick is grouped into a package but I had a hard time understanding what else was included in the standard package other than the joystick. I agree that each dealer writes quotes differently and some may/may out itemize each item as your dealer did. It really comes down to the bottom line.

Lest we forget; Rick clears 3500 dollars, more, for the same tractor you guys sell. Only difference being an orange coat. So it's safe to bet that his joystick comes with a hefty price tag.
