I agree - shopping local does everyone a world of good, sometimes the locals think they are selling gold by the pound!I've been shopping for suitcase weights on line - $79, $89 + freight - oh my. Called my local dealer on a whim and got them for $58 out the door for the same thing. Sometimes it pays to shop local.
Other times they have fantastic deals if you know what you are looking for specifically.I agree. More and more dealers of all kinds are finally becoming more competitive.
The internet has helped consumers get a better idea of all other product sellers prices which gives us more choices and more bargaining power.

I was looking hi and low for the 40amp alternator upgrade kit. For grins I called the semi local Kubota dealer. $189 plus shipping to my door since I couldnt drive an hour to his shop for quite some time. Same kit was $400 online.
I would like to buy a new machine from Emerichs just from the few emails we've exchanged. Hopefully it can happen, until then I spread positive thoughts about them. I believe theres a reason nearly all Orange tractors have their sticker around here even with Another Dealer being 5 miles down the road.
