I think that price is much too high. This machine requires a separate walking foot and quarter inch foot. It does not have a free arm and the extension table is an extra. Mine has been used almost every day and has had issues for quite some time but I've been able to work around them. The bobbin winder stopped working several years ago and one of the spool pins broke off. These are costly repairs that I chose not to make. Just keep in mind that sewing machine salespeople haggle like car dealers and use the same tactics. If you can't stand the pressure, take someone with you who is a tough negotiator. See how many of the extras will be thrown in to sweeten the deal. If you don't like the salesperson that will surely sour your entire experience. Comparison shop and DON'T accept that deal.
