I paid 3600 for my floor model that had only 21 hours on it (that's nothing for these machines) I got all the gooddies, plus...one on one training until i learned how to use the machine, she threw in 3 extra feet, bobbins, needles, ect. plus has "fixed" the BTM&C errors ( between the machine and chair). I love my machine. I wont be getting rid of it until it sews its last stitch.
Not true. My dealer is in Joann's. They just rent the space, have nothing to do with Joann's. The deals are set by Husqvarna Viking. I have been dealing with this particular dealer for well over 10 years, have never had a problem with parts availability or repair. And I have never had to pay for a repair yet, all have been while machines were under warranty. Never had a problem with any of them after warranty was up.
