Hello all -
As some will have noticed, I made a decision a while back to move off the Phase One train, having previously owned IQ180, P45+ Achromatic, IQ380 and finally IQ3 100, which I am currently trying to off-load in the Buy/Sell forum here.
Graham made an interesting point that the trade-in "value" of an IQ3 100 towards an IQ4 150 is $25,000 in the US. Currently my back remains unsold at $13,750 (it comes with a warranty until October 2023, but I suspect that would have no bearing on the trade-in value). Gotta be honest, if the IQ4 150 was capable of great video, I would have been tempted at that trade-in offer...
Given I've been unable to shift it, that can only lead me to the conclusion that dealers must be willing to offer at least a $10K immediate discount off the retail price for cash buyers.
So this is just a friendly heads-up to anyone shopping for an IQ4 150 - I suspect you will be able to drive a very hard bargain if you have cash in hand!
Kind regards,
Gerald.
