P3X for $6,000. No brainer.

I would go to the shop and ask for 40% off and work from there.

If you can pay with cash, ask for no sales tax too.

25% off is a hella of a deal
They aren’t making much money on 25%off they must need cash flow or it’s a bike sitting on the floor.

why dont you tell me what bike shop this is and ill give them a call and negotiate for you? :-D

I would prefer Di2 to AXS in general, the handlebar is an upgrade option, non UCI is of basically zero concern, etc.

No brainer. It's a very good bike for that price. I assume the Ultegra Di2 option is what's being offered?

I doubt 40% would fly, but once I find a bike I'll likely work with the shop to get some discounts on it. The cash option is an interesting one I can try to explore, but I suspect that won't work either. Definitely worth trying both though.

>They aren’t making much money on 25%off they must need cash flow or it’s a bike sitting on the floor.

It's direct from Cervelo, not my LBS itself offering the discount. So it's not sitting on their floor or needing cash flow from what I can tell.

They should have more than one :)

I haven't confirmed spec, but believe it would be the $8k Di2 option (although it could be any P3X build as well as long as I told them up front the specs and they could get it in the order)

You are correct, since it is a Cervelo deal, they won't do 40% off.

If a bike shop is in desperate need for money to pay a bill or payroll, it is possible that they would do 40% off on a bike that they have in stock. You never know until you ask.

A local bike shop here in Canada has a few P5X's for sale for pretty much 50% off. There are a few build options (demos) and framesets.

Not sure on the practicality of shipping / buying from Canada for you (wherever you are), but here is a link to the bike shop.

I'd imagine only if they're way behind on the invoice OR about to be dropped by Cervelo/have been dropped.

I find your attitude towards this very disheartening. When you get a discount you are taking money directly out of the owners' pocket.

Yea, a few percent here and there every once in a while isn't harmful but the attitude that you have all the leverage and are owed a massive discount is a reason why LBS are struggling.

In this instance Cervelo is offering the deal to dealers to offer to customers, so the price (bottom price) is set.

P5x frames and completes were being blown out by Cervelo. Iirc only large frame sets left in Canada.

A P3x for $6k? Yes!

Wow that comes out to $3800 USD for the P5x frame. What a deal

About right with smaller than usual margin for the store.

Not sure if cervelo has a 3rd party doing b2b in the US or not but it should have the same deal going.

That's what i got my P3X for and they threw in the P5X Travel Case for free, which I ended up selling (already have a great bike bag) for a little over $550, so really ended up getting the P3X for less

Tough Times Don't Last, Tough People Do.

Yeah I saw this and couldn't resist just before Christmas. I was going to order the frame-set and part out my di2 over from my SC, but I sold my SC quickly and my friend wanted the di2, so I looked at the cost of buying ultegra di2 and slapping on some deep discount enves and by the time it was all said and done, it was cheaper to get the already built Demo Dura Ace from em. So I grabbed a medium. I would never normally get something this fancy but it was a "cheap" upgrade to discs and when its all said and done, I was only in the hole like a 3k for the upgrade. And thats CAD mind you. And thats upgrading to dura ace from ultegra 8050, with a case too.

It is a silly deal IMO. If you wanted to grab the frameset only, I offered a lower price than listed and they accepted so I guess they just need them moved. If you fit the remaining sizes and have some cash, I think its a no brainer.

When you buy a car, do you not try to get the best price?
