How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?

I'm not interested at this time going used. No stock in my area, I'll have to order or go out of town. McIntosh has a pretty tight grip on their dealers, so I imagine not finding any here on AG. Just curious what to expect when making an offer. I'm not going to pay full retail. Ideas, thoughts? I'm not interested in other brands or amp ideas. I'm just researching Macintosh at this point in time.

"Find a walk in store that sells in quantity, then offer them 20% below retail. Walk if they balk."

If this will be you plan, you might want to wear comfortable shoes.

Agree with others that discounts on McIntosh are not normal. If you do find a discount, my guess would be in the 5 -10% range.

What does a discount sound like?

Not sure if it works with Macintosh but some dealers (for other restricted brands) will provide a generous trade in allowance as a sort of non-discount discount, if you have something to trade.

Your fears of buying used are unfounded. There are plenty of 275's of very recent vintage for sale here regularly by reputable members. Take a deep breath and buy one.

There is no new Mc Intosh available now. It is replica and sound is not as good as vintage one.
