Looking to purchase a LS G3038...fair price?

[Tropitractor]

Gentlemen,
I'm in the process of buying a LS G3038 new tractor...but I'm a lousy negotiator (honest truth). Can someone provide figures as to what would be a fair price to pay? Purchasing in GA.
It would include FEL and the following attachments: back-hoe, box-blade, wood-chipper (prices?)
Thanks for ALL the help

Just today I was quoted $15,995 for a G3038 with loader but without any of the attachments you list.

Good luck!

Thank You Torchroadster for the figure...
Given the fact that east TX is farther away than GA...(i.e. higher shipment costs) could I expect a better price from the dealer in GA. Would it be better to buy the attachments separately?

 

[Tropitractor]

BTW. Could you tell me how much are you going to counter-offer?
thanks,
p Wilie

I understand the tractors are distributed from Louisiana, at least in Texas, so not sure how the shipment costs play out compared to GA. I haven't decided to buy an LS so haven't thought about a counter offer yet. I still have some shopping to do.

 

[Tropitractor]

OK. Do you have a figure in mind which you would (o I could) counter-offer? Remember...I'm not a good negotiator!

 

[TSO]

From my experience, LS dealers don't really build in a lot of "negotiating room" ... at least, not here in Michigan, but then, we have some of the lowest starting prices for LS tractors that I've seen.

My local dealer has a G3033 with shuttle shift for $14,500. Says HST adds about $700 to the price.

$16,450 is the local price advertised for a shuttle shift version, so probably $17,250 or so for an HST version. They'll usually negotiate at least a few hundred bucks, but not much more.

In 8/13 had a written quote for $15,550 G3038 shuttle. Went back 6 weeks later to get and price went up over $1,000. (Price increase by LS per dealer). Got on Craigslist and found 3038HST with just 28 hours,made offer for $13,500(private seller). He loaded on trailer, we stopped at my bank on way home and settled transaction. Also came with a new Howse 3 point pallet forks. Originally came from small dealership in Cleveland Ga. Not to far from you. Nice guy, check him out.
