How reliable are NADA figures?
For used and new? Should we expect to pay the "low retail" on NADA or can we get it for less?

in case we fall in love with one of the ones that we have found online and need to jump on it. I am strategizing beforehand.
In my opinion it's far more important to spend your time researching what your floorplan is going to be, rather than honing your bargaining skills. You're going to be living in this thing. And then when you DO find close to exactly what it is you want, all that bargaining will pretty much be out the window, because you've spent a lot of time finding that exact one.
Now, if you're having 3 dealers competing for your business with the same exact model, then yes, you have bargaining strength.
Yes...we have been forewarned not to show our excitement, so we have been doing well in that regard. We have been researching floor plans until we are dizzy with the variations and have come up with a type that we feel will work for us. We have specific things that we want, so we feel pretty well prepared, except for the negotiational knowledge, which I am trying to pick up in this forum.
