Thinking about upgrading to a Mark IV...

2007-10-01 by rwberry99

Hi All,

I've had a DC3A Mark III for a couple years now, and it's a great
instrument.  However, it seems to be at the end-of-life as far as any
enhancements go.

I stopped at the local store and inquired about trading it in for a
MC3M4.  The first quote from the salesguy was shocking.  While he was
willing to give me nearly what I paid as a trade-in (I paid $33K, he
was willing to offer $30K) , his quote was nearly retail (I would end
up paying another $30K + tax.)

Of course, the store has to make a profit, but I can't understand the
Mark III versus Mark IV doubling the price.

I looked through the "what I paid for my DKV" database, and the prices
vary from $27K (which is a little unrealistic) to $45K.  The $45K is a
little high, but at least it's in my ball park.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Bob
