In Reply to: dealers deal when you have bad luck posted by jbk on June 16, 2015 at 06:16:37:

Ok...just wondering what the actual complaint is.

You have a machinery retailer, who has a product someone needs, when they need it. They intend to sell that product at retail, or fairly close, because that'a how they afford to pay the help and keep the lights on and the doors open.

And you apparently need the product that the retailer has.

Would the situation be any different if, for example, your oil drain plug fell out and ruined your engine? Slightly; because it's hard to get insurance for mechanical mishaps, but insurance companies sell fire insurance almost every day. If you failed to purchase fire insurance, or are underinsured, that's not the dealer's fault.

You didn't say where you live, so I don't know how many dealers there are around you. Since you mentioned both Deere and Case, it sounds like there may be more than one. If that's true, you don't have to take the first deal you find.

Let's just assume it was your toaster that died, and not your tractor and haybine. Would you expect Target or Wal-Mart to cut you a deal on a toaster, simply because you had some bad luck? Yes, the dollar amounts are different, but the principle is the same.

Or if you're driving down a rural stretch of interstate highway, and your car suddenly catches fire and burns to the ground before the fire department arrives. Should the Chevy dealer cut his price simply because you had a misfortune?

I guess I simply don't understand what your point is.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
