sport 42 honda

[hustler??]

I'm interested in purchasing a Hustler sport 42 with the Honda motor. Any recommendations on where to purchase? I'm in central Iowa.
I talked to my local dealer last summer and he wasn't a fan of the Hustler sport and tried to sell me a FastTrak or Cub Cadet instead. My yard is only 1/2 acre so I think the sport should be all I would need. He said if I really wanted a sport model he could order it but I would be paying shipping. He seemed like a real nice guy but he just didn't seem interested in selling me a sport. I got the impression the margin was too small and not worth his time.
I checked with another dealer today about 50 miles away. They had a sport 42 Honda in stock. It was marked "msrp $4199,sale $3599. I thought the msrp and sale prices were lower:confused:. I know dealers can set their own prices and charge whatever they want but where did they come up with that msrp number?
Is there anywhere I can buy this mower for the sale price listed on this site? Are there any dealers that will deliver it to my house with no extra cost like the Deere dealers?
Should it be this hard to buy a mower?:confused:

Your going to need to call some dealers and get pricing and talk to them about delivery, this varies by dealer.

Here are the MSRP's on the Sport models available.

Hustler Sport, 17.5HP Briggs & Stratton / 42" 929125 $3,099
Hustler Sport, 21HP Briggs & Stratton / 48" 929133 $3,499
Hustler Sport, 26HP Briggs & Stratton ELS / 54" 929596 $4,199

The Honda models are on our Spring Special program and they are as follows.

929463 SPORT16HON42 MSRP $ 3,499 Spring Special price $ 3,349
929471 SPORT16HON48 MSRP $ 3,899 Spring Special price $ 3,749

No luck in my area on the 42" honda. The few dealers I talked to were all helpful and informative about the mower, but they acted like the didn't have a clue about the spring promo price.

Thanks for your interest in Hustler Mowers. P & P Small Engine is a pretty good dealer for us in Des Moines, but because Hustler makes many models, it can be challenging for dealers to stock all of them. I work with all the dealers in Iowa. Send me a PM with your contact info and I will call you and help you with your needs.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure how to PM you or email you(maybe I don't have those privileges yet?). Maybe you are able to PM me? Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again!

Our dealer in Greenfield Iowa, K & J Hardware, has this model in stock. Also, P&P Small Engine has reordered several times this spring---and probably needs to order more machines right now. If you tell them you are interested in seeing this, they should be willing to get one in for you to see. Good Luck, and thanks again for your interest in Hustler Mowers.

UPDATE:

P & P Small Engine in Des Moines has a 42" Sport with the Honda Engine in Stock. Please stop by and take a look----talk to Clyde. Good Luck.
