Price Check pricing JD 3320 w/ 300cx and 448 backhoe

Hey fellas,

I see a lot of people quoting some pretty darn low prices on 3x20 tractors. Some of them are too low to believe... almost 25% off MSRP! From what I gather, if you get 15% off, you're doing good.

So here's a breakdown of what I'm pricing out, with MSRP (same as JD web site), and then 10% off, 15% off, and 20% off:

3320 Tractor, eHydro, R4, iMatch, 3rd SCV, Fwd Lighting, Rear Lighting, Air Seat, Receiver Hitch
MSRP: $19,440.00 + $150.00 freight + $400.00 dealer PDI = $19,970
10% off: $17,973.00
15% off: $16,974.50
20% off: $15,976.00

300 CX FEL, Ballast Box, Deluxe Hood Guard, 61" HD Bucket, Level Indicator
MSRP: $4398.00 + $40.00 freight + $200.00 dealer PDI = $4638.00
10% off: $4,174.20
15% off: $3,942.30
20% off: $3,710.40

448 Backhoe, 14" HD bucket, Power Beyond kit
MSRP: $8,234.00 + $40.00 freight + $600.00 dealer PDI = $8,874.00
10% off: $7,986.60
15% off: $7,542.90
20% off: $7,099.20

I went to the biggest dealership in the area. The guy I talked with was great, really knew the tractors and I got a good feeling that he was going to back me up after the sale. But he did say that although he used to be able to sell at 15% off MSRP, Deere has reduced their MSRP without changing the cost to the dealer. I haven't shopped around his quote yet, and I will, but I thought I'd run it by you guys and see if anyone in the Pac NW can tell me if this is a bad deal for this area. I know it's not smokin.

3320 as above: $18,200.00 ($1745.00 discount - about 6% off MSRP, not including freight and PDI... if you include those in the MSRP, it's about 9% off MSRP)
300 cx: $4,000.00 ($638.00 discount - about 9% off or 14% off, again depending on whether you include the freight and PDI in the MSRP)
448: $7,800 ($1074.00 discount - 5% off or 12% off, as before)

So a total package of $29,000.00. Now if you count the freight and PDI as part of MSRP, $29,000.00 is between 10-15% off on the whole package. But if you don't, it's less than 10% off. So how do you guys figure it?

And, can I do a LOT better than this, or just a little, here in the Pac NW?

Thanks for any help,

Nathan

I can't find the EDIT button, but I messed up the math on this post by $1k... can a mod please delete it and I'll post a new version on a new thread (since I have no replies anyway on this one)?

Thanks,
Nathan

PS: At the bottom of the screen it says "you MAY edit your posts" but I sure don't see the EDIT button like it shows in the FAQ help section!

Thanks.

Thanks.

That "EDIT" feature is only availble for 12 hours (I think) after the post was made.

Sorry I can't help with your pricing questions.

And finally, Welcome to TBN

But he did say that although he used to be able to sell at 15% off MSRP, Deere has reduced their MSRP without changing the cost to the dealer.

I have mentioned this in a few quotes since the pricing change, but I don't think anyone has really noticed... Deere decided that the MSRP was too high on the C&CE side - especially since so many potential customers are using the internet to do thier initial "shopping". This List Pricing change did not change the cost to the dealers, it only changed the margin between Cost and List - thereby lowering the percentage off list for a "good" deal.
