Xerox 700 Pricing...in Oz
Hi All
This is my first post so bear with me!! I have been reading this site over the past couple of weeks to gather information about the Xerox 700 and KM c6501 pro. I am currently in the market to buy one or the other but had a question regarding pricing.
I am located in Australia and I notice many posters on this site are from USA and Europe but I am hoping there is someone that can help me with some information.
I am mainly concerned with the price I have been quoted on the Xerox 700. I have no idea if it is good, bad or otherwise. I have been priced on the x700 with High Cap Feeder + EFI Fiery for around $121,000. The clicks offered are .095 colour and .0115 b/w any size single click. As part of the deal Xerox have offered to pay out the remainder of our current Xerox lease ammounting to around $18500 but allow us to keep the machine as a back up and will fit it with a booklet finishing unit.
I have noticed some of the prices mentioned in these forums from USA and Europe at around $65k to $80k and figure even with our fairly poor exchange rate and import taxes that the $121k price quoted is too high. I spoke with someone who is just about to get an x700 and he was quoted around $99,000 for same set up except he has pro finisher but no high cap feeder, which I believe is a more expensive option. He has been offered .085 click rate. He is dealing directly with Fuji Xerox as I am not.
It appears they are building the lease payout into the cost of the machine. Does this happen? Is there anyone from Australia that has purchased this machine and if so is the pricing I received about right or far too high.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback from anyone who has some knowledge of the pricing.
Cheers
