Price Check Is this a good deal on a new JD 5525???

[exiled cheesehead]

I have been talking to a dealer from several states away from me that has a new JD5525 for sale. It is MFWD, ROPS, 9/3 tranny with mechanical shuttle, isolated open operator station; Dual rear SCVs, Dual mid-SCVs, joystick controller, cold weather package, and front weight support. The msrp for this tractor is $42,000. Their asking price if I finance it is $34,000 (0% APR) and if I pay cash, then it is $33,000. So, the financed price is 19% off msrp and the cash price is 21% off msrp.

Plus, if I want to add a loader and a joystick with a third function valve, the additional cost will be $8650. So, overall finance price would be $42,650 versus $41,650 for cash.

Is this a good deal with or without the loader? I have been looking at Tractorhouse prices and it seems there is a wide range of prices for this model. These tractors (with or without a loader) with hours in the 150-600 range seem to be anywhere from the mid-high $20s to somewhere in the middle $30s.

Any responses that aid in my decision on whether or not to do the deal are greatly appreciated.

Did you run the dealer's numbers thru the JD website "Build Your Own"? I'm assuming you did...

Based upon the feedback on TBN for smaller CUT's and Utility tractors - if you're in the 20% range - you're doin' good.

But, that is the low-end tranny for that model, too.

I'd browse here: Used Tractors and Farm Machinery from Fastline And here: Used Farm & Agricultural Equipment - John Deere MachineFinder

These listing's are all "asking" prices - so, there's room to deal on 'em.
