Deep discount on 1 model year old TH?

My experience has been that it is less about the model year (unless it is getting really old) and more just about what is on the lot. For example if you were looking at a 2014 model on the lot they will typically work much more with you on that vs if you order one. Now if they have a 13 on the lot and a 14 on the lot of the same model then the year might make a small difference. The trouble I am running into right now is trade values. Most dealers here will only offer wholesale trade in which is very low.

lets see, you want to buy at wholesale but think it is unfair for them to give you wholesale for your used trade in? they can buy a new one at wholesale, why should they pay any more for a used one? during discussions with my salesman we could either deal wholesale to wholesale or retail to retail. but to expect wholesale on a new one and retail for your trade in is silly.

I think they, (RV salesmen) are just auto salesman wantabees.

You should be able to get 30% off a brand new TH, so unless they are in the 40% or better range to me it's not really a good deal in my opinion.

Hi, in my case it was discounted. I bought my 08 in april of 09 for $10,000 less than they were asking for the 09.

If Momma isn't happy, no body is going to be happy !!

One of the salesman was talking to Me about how I liked this and that, I said all I am looking for is a rig I can safely tow, Our Rhino will fit in and has decent customer service, Momma makes all the other decisions ;)

I feel your pain. ;)

For most people, it's probably easier to do your negotiating via email or fax. On-site negotiating will often have the buyer pressured into buying, and your lack of familiarity with the process (depends on the person, obviously) might show.

Best part about email/fax is you can write preposterous things without a stutter giving it away. Just check out the ones you like, head home, make a decision, and then email the person you talked to asking about best price, etc (or call and tell them to fax it to you). Whittle it down on the one you REALLY want, then ask them if they can do better with one of the 2013s leftover on the lot, and make a decision if it's worth it.
