If you'd like to see, just go to TV's website and view the new 3 bdrm/2 bath Amarillo's. Of the 20 currently listed, there are seven Amarillo's available that offer only the "garbage disposal". With the "deal" prices indicating the savings are in the ~ $6,500 - $7,500 range, I don't see much of a "deal" when you take into consideration the money it will cost to furnish all appliances and the current home sales slump. Granted, the "slump" isn't as bad in The Villages. However, don't try to entice me into thinking there are deals when an analysis proves otherwise.

Most homes that are priced over $200+ (which I don't deem a "deal" for an Amarillo) include all kitchen appliances. Of course, all the homes that are fronted or backed by the power lines include kitchen appliances. They'd have to if TV expects to sell them IMHO.

I did find one Amarillo that appears to be a decent deal. From the photos I deem two drawbacks to this home: 1) the fluorescent light in the kitchen and 2) there is not a Cathedral ceiling. However, the home is fully furnished and being offered for a good price. I can't tell if there are any other drawbacks to the home (location?).

Bottom line, IMHO there are no current "deals" on Amarillo's.
