So I've had my eye on the 2015 Keystone Mountaineer since early this past summer. It is the 356TBF and it for sure has everything I need and also everything I want. Called this particular dealer back a month or so and talked briefly, he ran some numbers and called me back to say he couldn't be where I wanted to be. I told him to see how close he could get to my number and call me back........
So about a month and a half later he calls back ( today ) and asked if I was still interested in this fifth wheel. I told him I'd been busy, the season is over for me and I was in no hurry. I was at my sons basketball game and told him it wasn't a good time to talk so I'd call him tomorrow.
So when they call back and say we really want to move this unit before 2015 how much more can I push?? My 2006 Cardinal is still on pretty good shape but it's already 8 years old going on 9 and the value is gonna start to drop FAST the closer I get to 10
years.
So have you bought anything new since you started looking early last summer?
If not who's blowing who off?
Just saying.....
So here's the deal, if I needed that new fifth wheel a month and a half ago I'd have it in my driveway now. I'm in NO hurry and just looking but have narrowed it down to the one I want.
All these dealers advertise all over the Internet now and many need to do a better job at handling the leads they get whether it be a phone call or email. My last three were all bought when I drove to the dealer and looked at them in person and purchased pretty quick after. With all the pics online and dealers asking you to email them there is no reason to drive hours to get your search started.
If I ask you to go to your boss and get your best deal and you say ok, I'll call tomorrow and it's 45 days later???? Remember I'm in no hurry, it's the end of the year catching up with them not me. This is a 2015 that they want sold by end of year, I looked for the 2014's they are pretty much gone.
