I bought a floor model at an amazing discount off of MSRP. Paid CASH, no trade in. NO PROBLEMS ! my goal was to get the machine I wanted at a great price from a reputable dealer. DONE and happy for it.
my experience in actually using a machine at the dealer for test runs is minimal. No dealer has offered or given free reign to sew on their machines without one of the staff there to oversee the test run. Fine with me. Until the machine is mine, it is theirs.
Good info Elaine! It makes sense to me.
