Hypothetically speaking, who would you say is getting the better end of the stick; the buyer or seller? 1999 Cat 302.5 open canopy, orig. tracks, 24" bucket 2000hrs. 2003 Cat 277 orig. tracks, 2 sets of front idlers replaced, 1100hrs. Both have never had any major mechanicals, just service. Asking price $50000 for the set.
go to www.machinerytrader.com click on auction results. find comparables to what you're wanting to buy. this will give you a great guidline as to the value of the equipment.
Using this technique, I came up with the following: 302.5 ~ $18000 - $20000 277 ~ $35000 - $40000 That would put the package price somewhere between $52000 - $60000. Seems like a decent deal to me. Also have to assume that you could work them down a little from their asking price. Joe
Hmmm, I'm the seller 50 may be too good. Thanks
Well, like I said, it seems like a good deal to me ..since I'd be the buyer...:wink2
