How much discount you can get?

2007-09-01 by rondisklavier

Hi,

I wonder what is the typical discount that we usually can get from 
Yamaha dealers in the USA. The first column is the official price from 
Yamaha ad in the latest Piano Style Magazine. I converted the prices 
using this rate US$ 1 = 120 YEN.  The third column shows the price 
that I could get (including sales tax + delivery). The MSRP YUS1 (new 
U1) is $12K and C3 is 44.5K. Based on this, in general I can get about 
40% discount of the US MSRP. We can get better price in California, 
the market is much more competitive there. Please note that the 
Japanese price shown below is just MSRP, therefore, expect additional 
discount.



	 MSRP in Japan	 Dollar	      Price I could get
YUS1	 675,700 	 5,631 	           7,600 
C1	 1,365,000 	 11,375 	
C2	 1,575,000 	 13,125 	
C3	 1,890,000 	 15,750 	   24,000 
C5	 2,100,000 	 17,500 	
C6	 2,520,000 	 21,000 	
C7	 2,940,000 	 24,500
