Well I just purchased a JD 2305 Sub CUT, it was delivered on Saturday.  The dealer took in my 1999/2000 Deere GT225, it has the Kohler 15 horse with the 42C Deck, and they are going to look over my old GT225 and come up with a trade in value and make me an offer.  I received a very good price for my new 2305, and am not sure how well a Garden Tractor holds its value.  Would anyone in the dealer / sales end of the business on this board be able to offer up any estimates so I know if my dealer is giving me a fair offer or not?  The GT225 had a retail MSRP for about $4000 when new to the market in 99/2000, and I paid around $3500-$3700 for it.  What a great machine that GT was.  Even with the diesel, 4wd, and 62" deck on my 2305, I'm really going to miss that GT225....

Wow...overwhelming responses....

Dealer only offered $1,045.00 for my GT225...looks like I'll be keeping two Deere at my house for the forseeable future...
