Is my L2501 quote way out of line?

[Tran65]

I got a quote today on an HST L2501 with FEL, SSQA, forks, grapple bucket, third function valve, ballast box, filled tires, and one set of remotes. I was quoted at $26,500 cash or $27,000 financing. That price appears awfully high to me compared to some of the other L2501 quotes I have seen floating around. Is the dealer way out of line or are my expectations way off?

To the TBN forum. Glad that you joined with us.

What does the tractor build on Kubota.com show the price would be to build that tractor with those options?

Seems pretty high to me.

L2501/HST/4-WD?

OPTIONS
FEL
grapple bucket with SSQA (?)
third function valve
set of remotes
ballast box
filled tires (R4 tires?)

I was quoted at $26,500 cash or $27,000 financing.

You have added several expensive options to the basic tractor. Price seems ball park to me. Bear in mind that $27,000 financed includes excellent KTAC insurance.

Messick's in PA is the volume Kubota dealer, with five outlets. Why not call Messick's for a quote?

Yes it would be 4wd and the grapple bucket would be SSQA. However, the tires were the AG version.

Which grapple? List price on those can vary quite a bit.
Same with the ballast box to a lesser extent.

Sounds really high! You should be able to get a L2501 with a backhoe for that price!

Yeah but without the options or sales tax.
He has a good $5-7k in options and did not say how much was sales tax.

 

[wagne223]

I usually tell people get exact same quote from the 3 nearest dealers to you.
Then you will know!
Prices can vary greatly between regions.
Plus it is still tractor buying season. Prices are always a little more spring and summer.

Yes, and with the raggedy enumeration of options in Post #1, I wonder if the OP and the dealer are on the same page.

The OP may have included another option or two in quote from the dealer but not enumerated same here.
