I'm shopping for equipment and looking for some insight to pricing. Is there a proper place to do this on the forum?
What are you looking for? A Philips head screw driver? A Cat D11? Or something in between?I'm shopping for equipment and looking for some insight to pricing. Is there a proper place to do this on the forum?

Currently looking at a mini excavator KX040 from Kubota. Buying one now, am going to hold off on the latter for a while. Pricing for a single machine is about 12% off MSRP, apparently they have more factory incentives if you buy more than one.What are you looking for? A Philips head screw driver? A Cat D11?

As the economy shrinks,the price of used quality plant will initially ease off,or simply stop increasing.It won’t come down that much unless you start seeing insolvency auctions,but even then,the big boy dealers with money in the bank won’t let others buy it too cheap.They’ll have it themselves and sit on it for as long as it takes.
Then there’s a few of the wealthier contractors that may sell a few of their older machines to keep the wages going through tight times,but probably not enough to cause prices to tumble.
Then,last of all,there’s the small outfits that are selling up because they can’t make it pay,or they’ve just had enough.
The big manufacturers will simply stop or slow production down,they won’t cut their selling prices at the factory.They can’t.
In general, some time after everyone agrees that "the price of this or that is outrageous and will never come down" is when it tanks real bad.
We'll see.
Yeah. Commercial real estate is going to get hurt hard. However we have lost the petrodollar. Printing more money is the only option. I'm not sure if there will be a meaningful correction. I'm really curious though if the dealers are negotiating yet. The last couple of years they were not in my area.I've seen that before in the real estate market back in '08..
What's that mean? Prices will come down? Kubota is already offering pretty low interest rates.Word on the street down here is that interest rates will start dropping in the 3rd and 4th quarter of this year and also Deere is getting ready to offer some incentives like 0% financing. the word on your street may be completely different and YMMV.
They've got their cash discount on the machine of about $2300. If you finance, that $2300 you pay buys you 3 years. Then, adding on to it, it's 1% for 4 years, 2% for 5, and 3% for 6.I doubt the actual price will drop but hopefully interest rates will lower. What is kubota offering? I was looking into upgrading service trucks this year and the interest rate on a used truck scared me into keeping mine a while longer.
