Do implement dealers haggle?

I'm considering the purchase of a brush cutter (Woods or Bushhog). Say I'm quoted a list price of $1500. Is the dealer likely to accept less than list price? How much less?

I realize this will vary from dealer to dealer, so I'm just looking for some general advice.

Thanks,

I would try to haggle a bit. I figure it like this, they won't sell it to you if they were going to loose money on it.

As for working on a lower price, a few years back I was at a mall looking for a pair of running shoes. I was in one shoe store chain grumbling under my breath about the prices. I guess the mananger overheard me and ask me what I thought they should go for. I fired off a price $15 below what they were listed for. To my suprise the mananger said sold!

GO PACK!!!!

I say, who cares? Go ahead and make yourself look silly! He who never asks, never gets. Make him an offer. The worst thing that can happen is he says no.

Just generally, I'd say that anything costing that much usually has negotiation room built into the price. I mean, we're talking about businessmen who are used to dealing with farmers. Other than farming, there's nothing a farmer does better than haggle! You should have seen my grandfather when he went to Tijuana. Man those vendors never knew what hit them!
