Thats where i am leaning. Can you haggle with Gravely dealers on price? online it states no haggle pricing. Not that i want too because i cant stand haggling over price with people.
Your Title states "FasTrak SD" and your details show "Raptor SD"....BIG difference, can you clarify??? The Gravely ZT HD is a much better ZTR overall than the Raptor SD, but if you were comparing the Hustler FasTrak SD you would need to move up to the Gravely base Pro-Turn for an apples-to-apples comparison. As stated earlier, "almost" all dealers(just like a car dealer) will entertain counter offers from potential buyers....but right now(July, middle of Summer) it is a "seller's market", not a "buyer's market" so I doubt that the Gravely dealer will give any more discount than the $5,199 versus the regular MSRP of $5,839. As mentioned....if you can "wait" until this Fall to buy then you will find it to be a "buyer's market" because the dealers will be getting their 2015 model inventory in just after Thanksgiving. I bought my 2012 Gravely 52" Pro-Turn 100 XDZ in mid-September 2012 and I saved over $1,300 off the MSRP plus taxes for a 2013 model. The 48 month 0% financing was available when I bought mine, but FYI...don't let anyone tell you otherwise, the financed price you are paying includes a $200-$300 financing charge that is figured into the price of the mower(otherwise the finance company would go out of business). So, in essence, the ZT HD 60 could be had for easily for $5,000 if you didn't finance. Me, I was fortunate that I was buying my ZTR as a "retirement investment" out of my retirement savings and was going to pay cash for it. The dealer's best offer was $7,300(including taxes) financed and I offered him $6,800 out-the-door cash and he didn't even hesitate to accept my offer. I understand not everyone can "afford" to do that but thought I'd share that tidbit regarding 0% financing. Nothing....I repeat NOTHING is free when it comes to financing:0) Sooooooo, all that being said, you may be able to get the Gravely dealer to "throw in" a mulch kit or a striping kit at the $5,199 price(which does not include taxes) but I doubt he would take even $100 off the no-haggle pricing. Never hurts to ask, but try asking for a "bonus" accessory and see what reaction you get. You won't regret investing in a Gravely....I love mine!!!!
