Just purchased a U5030C (cab model) for 30,500, 2013, so Tier 3. Sounds like your price is in line. Looked at Mahindra too but they had too many electrical components for my liking. LS still uses levers or cables to operate such things as 4 wd, etc. Simple=less trouble down the road for fix-it-yourselfers like me. Also, more gear selection with the LS-16/16 vs 12/12 w/Mahindra. But these are things that are important to me, maybe not so much to others.
