Am I getting the best price?

S&J Signs · March 12th, 2009, 11:14 AM

I'm buying a new Tajima Neo plus C1501 from Hirsch .
The price is 16,000 for the single head. My question is
can I get the price down? The sales guy said that's the
best price and the lease Compay said that is a good price.
I feel the are trying to play me. I just want to get a good machine
And a good price any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

Sure you can it's like buying a car. .. . I wished I'd know that when I bought my SWF single head. I thought it was like buying a computer and he gave me this deal and that and now that I have been in the business for almost a year.... I wish I would of wheeled-n-dealed a lil more.

Were any extras included?

no extras are included in the deal. i just don't want to be ripped off. if I can't get a better deal Im probably going to buy a SWF instead. Anyone buy a machine lately and get a good deal?

I just bought a new Barudan BEVT-Z1501CBII on a cart with standard hoops, ESP start up plan which includes all sorts of start up stuff and never ending training for 2 people per company, installation and training on site for 2 days, cap framing device w/2 frames. Wilcom ES21L lettering software, and double hoop master kit for under $17,000

What was the starting price they wanted?

twok4hd · March 13th, 2009, 07:30 AM

$15,500

We went to the ISS Show in Orlando and they presented us a quote there. I don't have the quote in front of me but they gave a show discount of about $3,400.

Definitely some top notch folks. We are a new start up company and they spent as much time with us as we wanted. No pressure sales and I feel we got as good a deal as you could get.

Here is the info on the machine we bought

Good luck in your purchase.

Here is another site about their ESP plan

Barudan is there. Stop by and talk to Bob Stone. He is one of the sales mangers. He is one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. IMHO, Barudan is the Lexus of embroidery machines. From what I have read on here, Tajima is good but their quality isn't what it used to be in previous years.

If you are thinking about getting financing, see Sean Evans at Beacon. Another great guy.

Good luck.
