From what I've seen you can get a very good road bike under $3K. I think I spent around $4.5K on mine and it was worth every penny. I wouldn't have had a problem bumping the groupset to DuraAce either, even though it would have added about $1K.
You most certainly can get an excellent road bike for under $3000. Id draw the line at about $1800--anything less than that, and there are lots of compromises being made. $1800 is still an affordable bike though.
