stopped at a green dealer this weekend to see what was on the lot. Looking for a big brother or sister for the 8N. Found a JD 2640 with 4000 hrs. and he wants $7900.00. I asked if there was any warranty on the tractor. He said there is none. I said how about ninety days, thirty days, or even ten days? He said no. Why can you buy a used car and usually get 90 days. Do any tractor dealers give any warranty on used equip?

Will he let you run it down the road apiece? Ask about 400 questions. Some of these should be things you know the answer to. Three lies excellent. Anymore, run out of there as fast as you can. If he wants you to talk to his mechanic, don't let him finish dialing. You knowof course you always pay more at dealers. DG

This doesn't answer your question about dealer warranty, but maybe it's useful info in this case. I just got a new Used Tractor Blue Book. The JD 2640 is listed for years 1976 thru 1982. Here are the numbers I found:

1976: Avg trade: 3110, High trade: 4350
1976: Ave Retail: 7710, High Retail: 8830

1977: Avg trade: 2980, High Trade: 4230
1977: Avg Retail: 7580, High Retail: 8700

1978: Avg Trade: 3380, High Trade: 4800
1978: Avg Retail: 8460, High Retail: 9730

1979: Avg Trade: 3650, High Trade: 5170
1979: Avg Retail: 8970, High Retail: 10340

1980: Avg Trade: 3800, High Trade: 6460
1980: Avg Retail: 10450, High Retail: 11780

1981: Avg Trade: 4140, High Trade: 6770
1981: Avg Retail: 11110, High Retail: 12520

1982: Avg Trade: 4670, High Trade: 7330
1982: Avg Retail: 12220, High Retail: 13770

Sounds like this dealer is playing hardball. He knows he can sell the tractor without any kind of warranty and he didn't care weather you bought it or not.

It has been my experience that, in many cases, the so-called dealer warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on anyway.

Maybe the dealer knows how much it costs to fix anything with green on it.

As it is with most all dealers ; you go with a fat wallet & a board inside the back of your pants . Oh yea , & don't bend over . Ken
