I just bought a new L3200 ..I think I got a good price. I check 2 other dealers in town. But I'd like to know what ya'll think

L3200 w/FEL (gear drive) 17,200.00
bushog brand 9" auger 795.00
bale spear(goes on front) 375.00
Kubota fiberglas top 395.00

what cha think?

Only little dig for me is the dealer said ..." yea .. we will get it all set up for you full tank of diesel and ready to go" and he charged me 84.00 dollars for that full tank and at a 10 gallon tank thats 8.40 a gallon !

Maybe they had a price increase since I bought mine this past summner. My L3200 HST w/ an LA524 loader was about $1500 below that.

Lil Foot, I was trying to be civil. The more I have thought about that it really makes me mad. I guess it reminds me of my bad buying experience when I bought my first new Kubota. For me it was the after service that went bad but it really made me pay attention to the entire sales process from that point on. I guess it would depend on how the dealer had treated me but if I had any bad feelings at all I believe them charging for fuel would have been a deal breaker for me. Every new tractor I bought always came with a full tank of fuel at no charge. Or maybe it would be correct to say there was no charge listed on paper anywhere. The dealer would get a ear full from me over that.

Yup, I would have walked. I once walked out of a Honda dealer at the final stage of a loaded Prelude purchase. They tried to charge me $110 for the factory included floor mats. They said I wasn't serious about buying a car, so 2hrs later, I drove in to show them my new Toyota Celica GT.

nice deal on the tractor but they would have drained that fuel out before I spent $8.40 a gal I would go back down there and question them on the fuel cost, if they didnt make it right Id never do buisness again with them.The owner must have used Obama math
