Somewhat rule of thumb in the "old" days.....

take internet "price" and subtract about 9-12%...and you are in ball park.

BUT..........depending on WHERE you are ....makes a world of difference!

whatever you spend.....It will be worth it!!!!

I am coming up in 3 months of making payment #60 .... and I have had a smile on my face for the last 5 years!

Thanks for the info...

I'm sitting at about 15% off of 'internet' price so I am pretty happy.

It clearly pays off to shop around!
How far south did you bid? Roanoke/Lynchburg area?

Little bit south of Harrisonburg to Hagerstown, MD. Got about 10 different quotes ranging from $34,800 to $30,400. Brought the lowest quote I got to my local dealer and they matched it. I wanted to buy from them anyways (buying local is important to me) but ultimately I would have traveled a little bit to get the best price. I gave them the option to match it if they wanted to, and they did. It pays to do a little bit of leg work. (prices around here are outrageous on everything since we have the highest median household income in the country)

I bought mine at Messicks in Abbotstown PA the L3901 tractor with the quick attach 66" loader, Loaded R4 tires, 1 rear remote, 3rd function valve front remote, bucket level indicator, the large rear ballast box, and a Landpride QA pallet fork attachment cost me $27500.

I only have about 7.5 hours on it so far but really like it.

Did you end up buying it at Browning?

2 Attachment Rebate - -$1000
DSA - $900

Out the Door Price $30,400 + Tax
The 4 items (35,588 - 4,088- 1,000 + 900 = 31,400) listed equals $31,400 not $30,400.

So if you got it for $30,400 it was a better deal due to their math error. :D

Hope you enjoy the new ride!
