Dealer costs, "blue book" values

[bfitzgerald3]

Ugh...I think I may have to go new...really want someone else to take the instant depreciation hit!!!

In the event that new is in my future, does anyone know of a source to find dealer invoice/costs for L series tractors and implements?

For that matter, is there a reliable Blue-Book site?

Thanks!

At least in my area, there is not much of a initial depreciation hit.

Add up the 0% financing on a new tractor and the warrantee and it just does not make much monetary sense to buy a newer used tractor.

Now if you are talking more than a few years old, used certainly can make more monetary sense.

Yeah, I'd prefer to find a couple year old model with a few hundred hours..all I'm finding are ones from last year with tens of ours or ten year old versions. Not much in the middle.

In shopping around I never saw a used tractor that was what I really wanted, some close but either missing something or buying something I didn't need, so being able to get exactly what I wanted plus 0% apr was the deciding factor.
