If your dealer won't match or at least come within a few hundred, then that dealer should understand why you purchase the machine elsewhere. Even if you were getting a new-in-box machine, the difference in price is still significant enough to make the drive. I don't mind buying floor models but the ONLY advantage in doing that is the savings...and in this case, there is none. He's expecting you to pay a premium for a used machine. I remember looking at a much less expensive floor model and when i asked how long it had been out, i was told, "not long at all...barely a year". Demo machines are often left on all day and some of those bulbs are integrated parts so its not just a matter of buying a new bulb and often the parts/feet go missing too. I once got home w/ a floor model that was missing spool pins and a couple of the feet belonged to a different machine. All that got sorted out but the $$ saved was still worth that little aggravation.
