Default Why is it so much more expensive here?

So I'm going to buy a new sewing machine tomorrow...all the online prices in the UK are the same as my local dealer so I am going to buy it from there so I get the after sale support!
I just did a quick Google search and discovered (to my horror!) that the price of the machine in America is $1049, which works out at just under £700. The price of it here is £1399! That's double! I honestly just can't believe it!
Does anyone know why there is such a massive difference? I'm tempted to order it from the US and get a transformer for it! although then I'd miss out on the after sale support!
I'm hoping to get them to knock a bit off but I'm not an experienced haggler and don't really know how to go about it!
