Re: [disklavier] Buying a Disklavier

2000-11-01 by Carol Beigel

If a Mercedes dealer was located down the street, and you bought your new 
Mercedes 300 miles from where you lived because they could save you a few 
bucks, or the shipping was cheaper than the local sales tax,etc. , would you 
expect them to give you the same service as their local customers?  Keep 
dreaming!  True, Yamaha has the best service support in the industry, and 
you get one free in-home tuning after delivery.  End of dealer obligation.

Chances are, that if you buy from the local Yamaha Dealer, they will "match" 
a reasonable offer.  They may also throw in a few extras, like another free 
tuning, free speakers, extra disks, etc.  Remember, you are going to need 
that local dealer to facilitate service and repairs - just like you would a 
new Mercedes.  Sometimes, what you  save up front can cost you big time down 
the road!
