Fleet of tractors

[Tucker86]

Hi does anyone no what kind of discount you would get from dealers for buying a fleet of tractors from them , all at the same time ? I mean like buying 25 at once ? Rough figures as a percentage like 10 % cheaper than list price thanks

you can get more than 10% off list buying one at a time ! a lot more than 10% !

for 25 tractors i would put it out to sealed bid tender with at lesst a dozen dealerships

About 25 years ago a ford tractor dealer told me there was an additional 5% discount for anyone buying more than 5 tractors at a time, not that it made any difference to me, buying one at a time has allways been a big deal.

If such discounts are still available today when list price on fairly modest tractors soon reach 100k and for those in a position to be buying a fleet probably looking at far more expensive tractors, considerable amounts must be possible.

The only way to know for sure is to ask for quotes on 25 tractors and see what comes back, I know one guy who buys 3 at a time and the manufacturer rep as well as the dealer is involved in the negotiations

Are you a serious buyer or a time waster? You tend to get between 20-35% off list for buying one. For buying 25 you would get fleet discount. So possibly 5% extra per tractor. But genuinely if you are used to buying 25 at a time you would know that?

If @Jack is still on here he could tell you exactly!

Surely in todays world no large company is going to buy 25 tractors, would they not be leased?

You probably wouldn’t be buying that number off a dealer. You will more than likely be courted by the fleet manager from head office and showered with freebies

Id imagine ud get sum deal if u went into some o the less popular brands dealers wantin to buy 25, theyd probably cream thier knickers at the thought of it

Just the seven but still thought it looked good.

I have a mate who worked for local VW, Brook Motors bought 14 Passat's , VW do the deal and drop the cars off at the nearest dealers, dealers get paid a fixed amount for each for PDI and delivery, and then hopefully parts and servicing, Brook's had their own maintenance so maybe don't do too well out of it.

No he didn’t! He would have paid for it! An invoice can say anything!

Velcourt must buy a fair few tractors a year, but I think they are direct from Case.
