How much is this $550 worth?

pcastleberg · May 15, 2012

Hi guys, I am considering buying this 550 Oliver gas. Main drawback I see is no drawbar but I am thinking I could probably find one to add to it like I did with my 9N I have. I would actually be buying this to replace the 9N.

Here are some pictures. I have questions out to the seller as far as hours but overall it looks like a pretty clean little unit.

Let me know what you think it would be worth...bucket included.
-Thanks Patrick

Thanks, the dealer I am talking to got it in local trade and wants $4,800 for it. I am not sure how negotiable that is. But I was thinking I didn't want to pay more than $4,000 for it. I am not sure what the Loader adds in value? I have a good sized skid steer though so it doesn't add a ton of value for me.

I would probably end up taking off the loader and selling it or asking the dealer what he would take for the tractor without the loader.

That sounds like a reasonable price to me if it is in very good condition, meaning put it to work with out pouring any more money in it. $2500. in Ky. sounds cheap but mine in Mo. was even cheaper but hundreds of hours and dollars later it still is in the shop. My $00.02 worth.

Dealer.... There's your problem.

There is no way a dealer is going to come down to anywhere near $4000 on that tractor. He is just waiting for some fool with more money than brains to come along, see the "pwetty gween twaktor" and fall in love.

The dealer's rock bottom price on that tractor will be about $4750.

Well your not quite right. He told me his bottom $$ including tax was $3900 cash.

But I found a couple of others on Craig's list that are comparable for less so I may work on those.

How much is this $550 worth?
