Selling L3240 with 118 hours need help pricing

[hunterridgefarm]

Any help with pricing appreciated!
I am helping a close family member ( niece) sell this tractor.
Kubota L3240 GST; LA 514 loader; BH75A backhoe with 12” bucket.
118 hours , purchased 06/24/08 from Lenoir Tractor/ Bobcat of Lenoir, NC

This tractor was used to dig out a couple of stumps and still has paint on the teeth of the bucket. Had not been cranked in a year or so, don’t know exactly. I put a new battery and new diesel fuel and it cranked on the second turn.
I don’t know if they purchased the 3 point arms, still looking and trying to find out.
I checked all fluids and hoses but cannot verify if it had the 50 hour service. Hydraulic hoses look fine as the tractor was kept in a garage. It appears to have the original hydraulic filter.
I dove the tractor to my house, about 2 tenths of a mile and it runs great.
Trying to determine a price now and checking with other sources on pricing.

Outside of some Kubota fade that thing looks damn near new.

Nice looking machine. Should be an easy sell.
The L40 series get the hydraulic filter and transmission filter (hst transmissions) replaced at 50h, so it would appear that part of the 50h service wasn't done. If you want to avoid the whole topic, consider replacing the hydraulic filter and engine oil and filter and call it done.
I looked at some completed auction sales, and there weren't any comparable machines, particularly in your tractor's condition and hours. I would fall back on the rule of thumb that the machine is in the ballpark of the original sales price. Having the original sales information would help, but my guess for current value would be 17k base + 5k loader + 5k backhoe = $27k.
A low hour, pre emissions tractor is a valuable piece of equipment.

Kubota fade becomes Mary Kay pink. Don't ask me how I know... JD Green becomes lima bean green too.

Your best 'yardstick' for pricing will be Tractor House and you might want to list it on there as well. I've had excellent results selling used equipment both ag related and other stuff on TH. Nice thing about them is, it's nationwide coverage and no low ballers, tire kickers like are on sites like FB and a local paper and they will help you price it right as well. Nice folks, easy to deal with and like I said, listing on TH almost guarantees a quick sale.

Too bad she wants to sell. Nice machine to own.

My niece found the original paper work and they paid 27k for the tractor new.

Yep! This one really looks new beside my L3130!

I've wondered if the fade to pink is part of the marketing to make us want to buy new tractors.

$10,000 in cash.
I can pick it up in person within a week

Saw your ad. I don't think it's worth $28.5k.
Hope you get it though.

Consider dealer consignment. probably be an easy sale for a dealer. Once it gets serviced.
