Check with your local appliance stores. They usually have more ability to work with you on the price than the major stores like Lowes or Sears. YES, they will usually price-match on the EXACT make & model, IME, and you usually get the better deal, while supporting a local business man, rather than the big corporation.
We recentl replaced our gas range. We did the shopping thing for a couple of weeks, and were able to beat the Lowes & Sears prices by about $200. on the range, paid $0 delivery fee, about half on the installation, and less than half on the extended warranty. Sears service has gone down hill since they were bought out by K-Mart a couple of years ago. We hace a few Kenmore appliances, so we have to deal with them rather frequently...
Check with the local guys...Many will even get close to matching or beating) the prices from the big internet appliance places like AJ Madison...ours sure did.
