Six things to put in a request so the salesperson can price it without calling you back first.
A dealer answers the requests that are easy to price. A vague one goes to the bottom of the pile because the salesperson has to call you just to find out what you mean. Give them these six things and your request is the one they answer first.
The machine class, not the brand. Say 20 ton excavator, 3 yard wheel loader, 70 to 90 horsepower skid steer. The dealer knows which of their models fits. If you need a specific brand, say why: parts on hand, a fleet standard, an operator who only runs one.
New, used, rebuilt or rental. Each one is a different conversation and often a different salesperson. If used, say the hours you would accept and whether you want a service history.
The attachments and options. A thumb, a quick coupler, high flow hydraulics, tracks instead of tires, a cab with heat. These change the price more than the base machine does.
Where it works and where it ships. Freight is real money. Give the city or the job site, and say if you can pick up.
When you need it. Ready to buy now gets a sharper price than just pricing it out, and that is fair. Say which one you are.
A budget band, if you have one. You do not have to share a number. A range tells the dealer whether to quote you the new unit or the three year old one on the back lot.
Then send it once through this site. It goes to the branch that sells what you described, with your consent attached, and they call you.
