Have you decided to keep it?

I was quoted $2995 as the msrp. The dealer gave me $500 trade in for my 20 year old Janome XCEL. Then she spent about an hour teaching me to use the new features on the store model. I must say I LOVE this machine and find it is well worth the price. Prior to buying this one I have never spent more than $800 for a sewing machine.

I can get the machine near my home for $2700 - and no sales tax. I am currently in Nebraska and a shop is having a Christmas sale that includes the Horizon, the table, the case and $60 in thread for $2800. I think this is a good deal. How about you? |
wait. after xmas the price will go down.

Update....after returning to Northern California I was unable to find the price I had originally been quoted.
The really irritating part is the dealers who inflate the MSRP to make their price look good. I was quoted as high as $3,400 for the Horizon. This morning I finally found a reputable dealer who WANTED to sell a machine. I pick it up tomorrow....along with the table, tote, thread and a 3160QDC. I am SO excited! |
OK, here's an update on mine: I no longer have the 7700. I was really unhappy with the way it sewed. My MC4000 sewed MUCH better. The 7700 would not sew over bulky seams. Yeah, I know, Janome knows that and have redesigned the 1/4 foot to fix the problem, but it didn't, at least it didn't on the machine I got. I was so disappointed with the way the thing sewed in comparison to my little old MC, that I took it in and traded it for a Babylock. While I am still disappointed in Janome, I LOVE my new machine.
I know there are a lot of people who love their 7700's, and I hope it turns out well for all of you. But my advice is to take one of YOUR blocks to the store and sew before you buy. Good luck. |
I intend to take one of my 'mini' quilts with me to try.

At least your dealer isn't far. Mine is 125 miles away - and I've already had to drive there to have a warranty item taken care of.
