I know I am of a minority as a shopper but I don't haggle. I think it can be insulting and a waste of time. It seems the OP lost six weeks. I'll ask prices while looking for the model we like but no further. When we found the toy hauler we liked I told the salesman "I wanted the lowest out the door price he could give me. I don't haggle and don't make offers. I am serious and will just continue shopping." I had figured the amount I wanted to spend. After several
minutes "talking to the manager" he came back with a lower price than I would of offered. It works for me I think because they don't know where I'm coming from. They understand they don't get a second chance at a serious buyer. The papers were filled out and I picked up the trailer in a few days after they checked out the unit. I don't have the patience "shadow boxing" over price and find out hours or days later that no agreement can be made. Maybe I could get a lower deal but I figure if a price is agreeable to both parties, the model is what we want, the dealer makes a buck so he can afford to service any problems of a new trailer, why waste time...After touring the lots for a couple days I told the wife by 5:00pm we would have a trailer. We left the office at closing time. "Daylight's burnin'"......Just an opinion of a crabby old shopper...
