Mahindra 3016 Advice

[arrow]

Pricing is very personal and is why I never state what someone should be paying. You cannot go by what someone paid for their machine even 3 years ago because I guarantee the price has escalated. In one years time, the price for the 3016 went up $1800! when I was purchasing mine 4 years ago. Do you know the cost of a brand new 1526 with backhoe?

I base my purchases on how strong the desire to own is coupled with the condition of what I'm looking at. I could not care less what others say "I should be paying" because there are some values for me that are worth more than that which is measured in dollars.

As far as not holding their worth vs new. I disagree. When my 7520 was 5 years old, JD offered me $3000 more than I paid for it and they had no idea what model machine I was even considering. So it would have been a winning deal for me.

Oh, I still have my 7520, nothing jumped out at me that I just had to have.
