I love my Janome, Horizon, which was a demonstrator. I got it for $1,000. Showed them my income tax refund check and asked them to make it work. They did and I am really happy now for 2 years. You never know. If they are in a selling contest it also helps. If they are close to a prize then they are extra motivated. You don't know what their quota is and if they haven't met it for the year, your sale can help them maintain their franchised dealership too.
