CVP3xx MSRP vs. street prices (USA)
Just thought I would pull these prices together in a single post for
those still contemplating. The following table shows all the MSRP prices
I've seen posted, along with the infamous FL-based EBay shop's prices, and
the percentage of MSRP the eBay shop are charging. As expected, the higher
up the model, the thicker the margin, and therefore the deeper the
discount a discount seller is willing to take. All prices are in $US. The
MSRP prices are not authoritative, but gleaned from past posts. Can anyone
confirm them?
Model....MSRP....FL-EBay...% of MSRP 301......$4195....$3190.......76.0% 303......$4995....$3595.......72.0% 305......$???......$4295........??.?% 307......$8395....$4995.......59.5% 309PE..$11095....$6149......55.4% I don't believe I've seen the MSRP for the 305 posted, but I would guess it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $6600. Several of us have purchased 307s at close to the FL-eBay price above, and I would anticipate the other models could also be had at similar "discounts" but it may take some work. It is definitely worthwhile letting your dealer know you are willing to shop around - even out of state if necessary. But I also think it is worthwhile being nice, and coming out of the deal with a decent relationship with the salesperson (of course, this may not be possible if they refuse to be reasonable). I spent considerable time at the dealer, playing their instruments. That experience was critical to my decision making, and definitely has value. Internet dealers don't have that overhead, but in my book, it is worth paying (some) for. Another important bargaining note is that if your dealer doesn't have to "floor" the instrument, they can save something like 6% off their price. Flooring means they order one just for you, and therefore don't have to pay "flooring", or interest charges. If they're stocking them, this may not be the case. -Ross |
The street price for 305 is as follows:
Model....MSRP....FL-EBay...% of MSRP 305......$6995....$4295.......61.4% - Ed |
Updated Street Price on CVP-300 series
Hi Ross,
Just thought I would update your handy price list with the new information we got from Ed, BlueMonkey and Joe. Yamaha CVP-301 List: $4,195 Street: $3,190 (BestPrice Inc.), 76% of List http://www.bestpriceinc.com/ Yamaha CVP-303 List: $4,995 Street: $3,595 (BestPrice Inc.), 72% of List http://www.bestpriceinc.com/ Yamaha CVP-305 List: $6,995 Street: $4,295 (BestPrice Inc.), 61% of List http://www.bestpriceinc.com/ Yamaha CVP-307 (Dark Rosewood, Mahogany, Cherry) List: $8,395 Street: $4,895 (US Dealer), 58% of List [THANKS TO BLUEMONKEY!] Yamaha CVP-309PM (Upright Style, Polished Ebony) List: $11,095 Street: $6,149 (BestPrice Inc.), 55% of List http://www.bestpriceinc.com/ Yamaha CVP-309GP (Grand Piano Style, Polished Ebony) List: $13,495 Street: $7,800 (US Dealer), 58% of List [THANKS TO JOE HARRINGTON!] Note to prospective buyer: Best Price Inc. claims that it sells the Yamaha Clavinovas with full US warranty. Read about the personal experience of Steve on buying a CVP-303 from Best Price Inc: His CVP-303 did not come with a warranty card. However, Steve was able to register his instrument on-line at: The Yamaha Database accepted his Product ID, Serial Number and Company Name. Tapas |
I understand that the warranty documents aren't packed with the
Clavinova, anyway.
We ordered one 15 days ago from a local dealer who was nearly sold out of the 3XX series. At that time, he gave us a warranty document "Conditions of Warranty", and a microphone, a headset, and some Christmas software. Like most modern warranty documents, this Conditions of Warranty certificate has no value; you only need the original sales receipts to prove that your item is new enough to be under warranty (and prove that you paid for it). _ _ _ I did find the above pricing info very useful. We made a deal for a CVP-303 at $200 over the Best Prices quote. For that $200, we get setup, delivery inside the house, the bonus stuff mentioned above, the notorious "US firmware", and (hopefully) access to hassle-free service. At the time we made the purchase the dealer only had a CVP-307M, a CVP-301, and most of the CLP series of Clavinovas on the floor. We also checked with another dealer, who was closer, but wanted almost full list price. (The high price dealer still had a 303 on the floor!) |
I got my 303 for US$3200 + taxes. Had to haul it and fix it up myself.
I think I got a great deal on it.
|
desipianist,
Yea, sounds like you got a great deal! You say you had to "fix it up" - what does that mean? Was it broken? Or do you just mean you had to assemble it? Congratulations on your new CVP! Let the good times roll! -Ross |
I meant I had to assemble it myself, which is really easy.
Those who live in the San Francisco Bay area can email me and I can tell them which of the local stores gives these great deals. |
desi, you indeed got an awesome deal! Was this the price they had
listed (would be truly amazing if so!)? Or did you have to break some knee
caps to get the price down there? ;-)
-Ross |
desi - bay area dealer
Desi--
Hi. I tried to email you to get the info on the Bay Area dealer, but the system said your account doesn't accept private emails. Of course, I'm a newbee and may have done something wrong. I would love to have the dealer info as I am hoping to purchase a Clavinova soon. Thanks Tami |

This is in San Antonio, TX. These prices were quoted as sale through
March 28th for stock in hand. I don't know what the dealer's regular
prices are (after 28-Mar-10).
I think the list (msrp) prices were CVP-505 $8999 and CVP-509 $11,997.

Hello. I'm looking to buy a CVP509 and the sale price here in Houston
is $9980. Do you think I can get a better price elsewhere? Has anyone
paid less so far?
Thank you.
