New Kawaii

[jernst]

I am buying a new Kawaii GX2 or GX3. I can't really afford either, but am going for it after exhausting my search for used and honestly want to be positive of what I am getting.

What is a good price for either? After talking with the dealer, I believe I will offer 17K for the GX2 and 19K for the GX3. Is this too much? Is this a good price?

Thanks.

OMG! I am so in the same boat. I can't decide between the GX3 and GX2 as honestly, they both sound the same to me and I am not sure it is worth the few thousand dollars more. Thoughts?
I can't afford either either, but like you, am going for it!
The lowest I got from my dealer was 21,700. Then, there is a Kawaii rebate through March 31, so that puts it at 20, 900. I think the GX2 if I remember (quotes in my car), was three thousand less than that minus a 600$ rebate. I feel pretty good about these prices. Ive been working with the dealer for quite sometime now and have grown to trust and like him quite a bit. Especially after meeting others who are liars and cheats!

Please let me know what you find out and how much you offer if you get it for less! Also, GX2 or GX3 and why?

Now, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure "Kawai" is the piano and "Kawaii" means cute.

At 5'11" there is nothing wrong with the size of the GX2, it will fit most living room or parlor situations and beyond. The GX3 in larger spaces may sound a bit fuller, slightly more bold. It's not going to be a huge difference but it's there someplace.

The price, in ten years you won't know the difference or care. Get the piano that fits you and fits your situation and that's the best you can possibly do. You should sit at a piano and feel it's yours before you write the check. That's the piano you want to own.

The pain of the financial hit is temporary.  In a couple years time you will be thankful that you made the purchase.  You need to be sure that the piano you are choosing is the one that speaks to you, that is by far the more important decision. 

Choose the piano that fits into your living space.  If you have a choice between sizes, it is usually safe to choose the larger one (as long as it fits in your space).
