slightly used or new Jd 5203/5055

[bucktaker]

Hello
What to do ...I have found a very nice 2005 jd 5203 2wd 512 loader with >250 hrs no problems or issues at all . The problem is financing a used unit vs the 0 percent for a little more expensive new 5055.
the 5203 does not have a rear scv but I can add that for 900.00

Should I make a offer on the used asking 15000 or purchase new?
5055 2wd 512 loader with single scv?
how much is a warranty worth? resell doesnt matter this tractor will be mine till i'm done. :laughing:

How much more is the new one? What do you project interest costs will be for the used one? Will you have to pay sales tax on the new one?

I would want to pay 25-35% less for the used one vs new after I added in cost of SCV and interest.

$15k for a 2005 seems a bit high IMO. I paid a bit over $13k for a new 2008 5103 with 512 Loader and I got one rear SCV. I know the 5203 has a bit more HP than mine....but....

Good luck.
