Nanax4, I would definitely get some benefit from putting the machine on a credit card. Why let them get the benefit from your cash, esp. if they won't budge on the price. I wonder if they are as inflexible on other policies as well....?????.....
I bought my Bernina 710 at a local dealer 10 minutes from my house, but the tech/owner did not have a clue how to adjust this new model so it could sew a decent stitch. Luckily I was able to find an excellent tech 1 1/2 hours away, so now I take the machine there for service. The new dealer is a horse and buggy Mennonite....but he sure knows sewing machines!!!
Have you checked out reviews on your new machine?? I always find them helpful.
