Well, I went to another bike shop--one that actually specializes in folding bikes. On the wall was another Dahon Mu SL which *seemed* to be the same as the one at the first bike shop I mentioned. The price on that one was $1049. I asked if that one was a 2009 and he replied that he actually didn't know the model year. He turned to the mechanic and asked her, and she said once they are out of the box they lose track. lol He said there was no difference between the 2009 and 2010 except maybe a slightly different paint job.
