I am looking to spend around $90k to $100k.
Remember ask for about 1/3 off asking price and get something close to that off.
What do you mean? If I was looking to purchase a new RV and the dealer is asking $90k I should offer $60k???
If you look at my post at the top of page 4, it's not realistic to offer the dealer $60,000 when their $95,000 asking price has already been reduced from a MSRP of $138,800. $60,000 would be a discount of 66.8% off of list price. If you can get over 30% off of list, you're in the ballpark. Note that the $95,000 asking price for a $138,800 MSRP represents a discount of more than 31.5%. I guess you could try for more, but as a comparison, a local DRV dealer was advertising a selling price of $134,500 against the $138,800 list and playing hardball about coming off of their asking price - obviously, they didn't get MY business, but their target market was inexperienced RVers who were buying 5th wheels to live in while working in the Eagle Ford shale play (south Texas oilfield) where no other housing was available.
