John Deere rep going to take tractor

[sea2summit]

That sounds like a huge crock to me, I wouldn't do business with folks like that. Especially on a small sale.

Change colors, at least change dealers. And I don't buy for a second that other guy was a reginal rep, why does he care about one 1025?

This is a shady car sales method and should be treated that way. Dealers and sales rep involved should be "tattled" to Corporate with a photo of your new tractor from somewhere else. Be even better if that new tractor was orange, blue or red.

I was once told while looking at trucks, that I should go home and get my wife if I couldn't make a decision on my own. I wasn't as mature then as I am now and may have said a few things that were not nice, and quite loud. We the buyers shouldn't have to settle for being prey in a sales situation.

Something sounds fishy enough so I'd be looking for another dealer or brand.

 

[dodge man]

My guess is what really happened is another sales person called you and they said they were a rep just to light a fire under you.

Don't doubt that this is true. Deere has their on-line quote system and your first quote would have been on file. Not sure why a regional rep would get involved. Unless he was a regional rep for the dealer and not Deere. Deere protects their dealer regions and if you go to a dealer not in your region and they sale you a tractor, the dealer must pay a percentage to the other dealer. Agree this sounds like a high pressure sale. And I would not like to have a dealer like that for warranty.

Call the regional rep and tell them the story...I would be willing to bet it’s not the same person you spoke to earlier Claiming to be the regional rep. And if it is, I would definitely go to a different dealer.

Wow. I sure wouldn't purchase a tractor from that dealer network. And, an experience like that might just push me to a different brand.

One poster says price difference for cash is different for finance?
Isn’t it JD who try to force the Idea of its the same price cash or credit?

I tend to agree it most likely wasn’t the rep but someone at one of the dealerships calling you. Attempting a pressure deal to get you to overlook the price increase and feel lucky to have gotten the tractor. I have seen this tactic before.
If it was the rep then I would write and complain up the chain of command.

What I would not do is buy from any of that dealers branches at any cost.

I honestly don’t care if thier quote is online and the next place can see what was offered. If you tell me you won’t sell because you don’t want to step on someone’s toes or whatever you will get the answer, sell it to me here and I don’t give a hoot about your policy or JD policy. It’s my money and I spend it where I want, how I want and you or JD has absolutely no say in that. If you think you do then you, the other dealer and JD won’t see my money at all because you and they are not the only game in town and I don’t feel priveledge to buy, use or own your products. But with so many capeable machines from other manufacture YOu should feel privledged if You can earn MY MONEY!

End with.
Have a nice day, along with I’ll send both dealerships and the rep a picture of the brand I buy since you apparently don’t want to earn my money!

I would move on right away. I wonder what the after sale service would be had you bought the tractor? If they are playing that low with you even before buying the tractor, anything is possible afterwards.

Plenty of brands and dealers available pretty much anywhere nowadays.

PS
If you still want a Deere, have a friend go shopping with you and use thier name for price quote 1, your name for #2, your wife’s maiden name for price #3 and so on.
Or do as I do and say You will get more than my first name when we come to an agreement on what I want. If you can’t price it without all the other bull crap for you computer then we don’t need to do buisness and I am leaving.
