Now, if you said "I'll buy it no matter what" then yea he can prolly order the bike for you.

Good point. I didn't read the OPs post clearly and overlooked that the LBS is not a Fuji dealer.
Go find another LBS that is a Fuji dealer or try out a Madone 5.2 or TCR Composite 1 from the LBS. For $3k, that's well within your budget.
