Depending on what exactly that price includes, it might actually be a great deal. Obviously pricing is regional, however, for comparison purposes my upstate NY Finger Lakes Region pricing as of 3/'05 was...
B7610 new in crate, 352 FEL w/ grill guard, RCK 60" MMM, loaded R4s, weight box, HD alternator, block heater, arm rests, back work light, 50 hr filters/fluids, pickup & dlv for 3 yr warranty period and the hat... $15,600 no tax.
IIRC, the HD alternator kit added about $160 installed, ballast box $100, the block heater $50 installed, and the armrest and back light kits a bit less than $100 ea installed. 50hr service including fluids (w/ SuperUDT), parts and labor runs $300-$400. Transport costs per mi. vary by dealer.
Assuming a one-time $50 transport fee, that adds up to almost $900 of 'goodies'. Subtract from $15,600 and that's about $14,700 for tractor, 352 FEL and MMM. Your price is $800 less, although mine did include filled R4s (maybe $100-$200 dealer charge) and I paid $200 more than my lowest quote because I too preferred to deal with my local dealer.
So a $13,900 price looks real good from here; not sure if it can get much better than that. Hope that detail helps, now pull the trigger and change your sig line before the 0%/3yr ends! You'll love it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
