roberts,
If you would fill in your profile so we can have a better idea what area of the country you are in, we can better help you with your question. Prices do indeed vary region to region.
I do feel that $24,000 for a straight TC40 is quite high.
I just paid $21,789 for a TC35D w/ FEL. I take delivery on Thursday. I can't imagine that a TC40 would cost $2,200 more.
Ah !! Northern California. I just caught that. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
