Last week I was out pricing some equipment. I went to my local family owned dealership and got the price on a new 4 wheel drive, with no trade in. I also then bought some parts for my cultivator that needed replaced. I then just happened to stop at another dealer on my way to a wedding on saturday afternoon and gave them the spec. sheet that I got from my first dealer and told them to give me a price on the four wheel drive, I did not include the price when I gave them this spec. sheet. They gave me a call back today with the quote and it is 11,000 less then my local dealer. I just don't understand how this can happen. The dealers are each getting their equipment from the same place. Then what really put me over the edge was I asked them the prices of the parts I picked up from my local dealer, and they were $1.21 cheaper, and they where all JD parts. I just got off the phone with my local dealer and was asking him how this was possible and he told me they just did this to get my business, I then told him that they better be lowing their prices inorder to keep my business.
