Tractor discounts

[AKA]

Hi we are in the process of buying a new tractor. We have had quotes back from a couple of dealers but the difference in list price to retail price is quite different between the two, i.e. the % the dealer has allowed. What % discount would you normally expect to be given off list price?

Don't look at the discount-look at the price you will pay!

Anyone can give a big discount if they hike up the "list" price first.

Frankly (as proven mant times on TFF before). it depends who is asking !

The reason I ask is that both tractors list price is very similar but the retail prices are a few thousand different. Annoyingly the colour of tractor o would have preferred to have bought retails as the more expensive of the two.

To be honest the list price is irrelevant if between different manufacturers. Only thing that means anything is the on farm price.

Sometimes the list price is relevant to the amount of finance available and that is sometimes why there so high

I priced a john deere once and the dealer had one on the yard ready to go,he said it was "£54000,what are you trading in?""Nothing it's a straight deal" " In that case it's £47000 then". Amount to get on the yard is the only thing and don't worry how they arrive at the figure
