I got a CAAD10 3 (2012) in December of 2012 (so it was old stock) for $1800 without tax. I can't say I've scored the best deal on a CAAD10 3 either. If you were debating between 2013 Ultegra and 2014, it wouldn't be a question - go 2014, but that's a tough debate.
What are your goals on the bike? Just ride for fun, leisure? Racing? Do you know if you like sprinting or climbing more? - perhaps if you wanted a good climber, go 105 and save your cash for a new set of wheels.
Keep in mind, everything gets upgraded when you go up a level - not just the groupo. That being said, I haven't taken a look at the 2014 CAAD10 5 in depth yet...
Hope I helped... It's been a long day of homework and school and I'm dreaming of bikes.
I thought the prices were high as well, but attributed it initially, to the higher cost of living in the area. But after some research, I realize that even for the area those prices are very high, especially for the closeout year.
I do most of my hard sprinting\riding at night around 1AM, and I had a old FUJI racer that was used for street and the above is my in-the-house trainer. I just sold my racer so that I could upgrade to an CAAD10 aluminum bike -- Didn't really have to sell it, but having two bikes in an apt is already too much
three would be pushing it.

I wanted to confirm what THSdrummer said about the prices and I'm talking about Canada where we usually pay a little bit more.
I think "2013 CAAD10 3 $1800" is a reasonable range regardless of where you are geographically.

Lots o' fun, handles great downhill and flies up, but still planning on upgrading to Chorus or similar.
That is sweet ... I like the Raw\Black design more than the newer paint designs.

... then again, all of the 2013 stock may be sold by now.
I will give them a call today ... I also, discovered the Bike Factory on the C-dale website and they seem to have very reasonable prices .... So, that's the next stop.
