原贴照片看不到了。再贴。请问能买Baldwin C172钢琴吗？

I asked for your opinion about buying $24000 德国钢琴FEURICH or WILH STEINBERG on Oct. 3 (http://bbs.wenxuecity.com/znjy/1562513.html). Most of you think 完全没有必要. So, my wife and I have decided to consider buying a cheaper one. The dealer recommended us a Baldwin grand piano C172 for $5400 plus tax and shipping fee around $6,000. The dealer said that the piano was made in Korea in 1994 (He said that the original owner bought the piano as new in 1994). We have paid money but before he delivers it to us, I asked specifically which year the piano was made. He opened piano trying to find whether or not somewhere the year was written on the piano. But he could not find it. Then I asked him for serial number. He gave it me 51139. I called www.baldwin.com (now http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Support/) 1-800-4GIBSON (1-800-444-2766). I was told that any Baldwin piano with 5 digit serial number was made prior to 1926 because Baldwin serial numbers have become 6 digits after 1926. But the dealer still insists that the piano must be made much later. He said that he is going to contact a person who used to work for Baldwin to verify this. But I am not sure that he could verify anything. We are very disappointed and asked him to delay the delivery. There is a possibility that I could ask the dealer to get our money back. But we definitely need to buy one. He also agreed to extend our warranty parts from one year to 3 years and we can also trade in for the purchase price if we decide to buy a better piano later. Unfortunately, he does not have any other good piano in the ranger of $5,000 right now. He suggested us consider the following:

(1)Yahama, gbk1, 5',new, more than $8,000

(2)Kawai, rx2, 5,10”,new, $13,250

(3)Kawai, ge305, 5”,new, $10,000

He said that (2) is a good deal and my daughter also loves rx2. (See the last photo).

We do not know whether we should buy Baldwin C172 for $5,400 (about $6,000 in total) or consider the new ones. If we decide to buy new ones, which one should we choose?

When the dealer opened the Baldwin piano, I took several photos. It seems that the piano is O.K. Currently, my wife and I are considering to buy Baldwin C172 because we can always trade-in for a better piano later. 我们计划周六做最后决定。您的意见和建议，将不胜感激。
