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...

I don't like to haggle either and I think its a waste off both of our time to do it.

I figure out a price I would pay minus 15%. I find three available vehicles in the area I would purchase and prioritize them based on the options that are important to me. I go to the dealer who has the vehicle I want the most and shoot the sales man straight right from the get go. I make the offer and tell him if he accepts it I will buy today. Usually they say no and I thank them for thier time. I will then ask them to give me their best out the door price in writing good for 24 hours. I then tell them I have two more vehicles to look at and if their price is the best I will be back to purchase.

Usually at this point I get their best price and has always been an acceptable price within my price range. I have never had to look at option two. Half hour at the most and we are doing the paperwork.
