The initial written price quote with professional installation started out at nearly $10,000. By the time I was done, the price was down to about $7000, and they threw in extended service warranties at no additional charge and offered me 36 months without interest. I pursued a similar strategy on a high-end exercise bike.</p>

<p>I'd be willing to buy this _______ right now, today, if the price were lower.</p>
