That's not a great price around here. I'd not pay more than $20k for a package like that.
Breaking the plastic grill is nothing, it's so easy to do with a grapple or just even driving through a field and a branch hits it. Wouldn' think twice about it, if everything else looks like it was maintained.
Regarding the L/MX, I am in the same boat. Just a few more payments left on the L so I desire to keep it and buy a cabbed MX/M.
I know this is a Kubota site, but if my options were between your package, and a new TYM 474 for roughly the same money, I'd be dragging home a TYM/RK tractor.

Making low offers never bothered me. If you have been a seller you understand that any offer is worth considering. Used attachments often sell for meaningfully less than new. If your initial offer is high you cant backtrack. If you start low you never know. They might accept it or counter slightly higher. I work for a bank and there is an old saying " Dress British and think Yiddish". $19,000 is still a lot of money, I would probably start even lower. When I have bought real estate of the fixer upper variety over the years I attempt to ascertain fair value and then apply the Circumcision Paradigm that states one can take 20% off the top of anything without it meaning anything. I am not unusual in this regard, professional "asset traders" all think and operate in this fashion. Its a game of sorts. " A Coke purchased at too high a price doesn't taste good"
