Babylock Imagine serger -- is this a good price?

I am contemplating a Babylock Imagine serger.  I have never used a serger before.  I don't do a lot of garment construction, but I'm small and I need to hem things a lot, and I just can't make knits work with my sewing machine.  Also it would be nice to be able to put in elastic waists.  I was pretty impressed with a demo at the dealer today, and all the reviews I can find on it are raves.  I really like the idea of the air threading as I have limited time to spend learning and futzing with a machine.  Dealer today quoted me $1999.  My question is ...is this a good price? Should I negotiate and see if they will come down?  I don't like the way it is like buying a car used to be...so hard to find out what it really should cost.  Any experience/info greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Don't know if it is a good price or not but I've had my Imagine Wave for a few years & I REALLY like it. Just make sure your dealer will teach you about your machine. My dealer didn't really know much & I was sorry that I bought from her. Had to end up paying for lessons elsewhere. Dale

I own a babylock eclipse serger, but I bought it used
several years ago on ebay. I love the jet air system, it
so easy to thread. I've had it for maybe 5 years and never
had to have it worked on.
Never been sorry I bought it.
good luck with your decision,,make sure the serger has a
operation manual with it.

I bought mine on sale for 1500 canadian and I love it.

Well, I did get them down a little bit -- to $1899.  I've just had it a couple of days but so far I LOVE it.  I can't believe how easy it is to thread and use.  I will get 2 2-hour lessons through the dealer.
