Disklavier

Does anyone have an idea of what the bottom line price is on a 5'3"
Conservatory Series Disklavier? (DC1A?)
My local dealer just had a $500 coupon promotion sale, and the price was his
"best" at around $19,600.

I was just told by a coworker that my local mall has a bunch of Disklaviers
set up for sale through the holidays, and I was going to head over to
bargain the best price I can on a new one before deciding whether to go
through with a used purchase I have been working for over a month.  I can
get a used Mark I DC1 for about $15K including shipping, but if I can get a
brand new Mark III for a couple grand more, I'd do it.

I'm hoping that one of you can relay information for Disklaviers like the
information available for car dealer prices.

Thanks!

No, sorry, but here's two places to look.  First, check out the 
Database of prices on this group (click Database to the left of 
here).  This shows actual prices paid, if they are to be believed.  
At least it's a start.  

Secondly, check about on the web.  For example, Chamberlain Music 
will auto-email you a price on a Disklavier (although it's in pounds 
sterling, it's again a reasonable starting point).

Be aware that when looking at even quite recent prices, these will 
reflect the older dollar values.  Since the US dollar has collapsed 
around 25% over the last couple of years (including against the 
Yen), you are likely to find that even if prices haven't gone up, 
dealers will have a whole lot less margin to give away these days.
