list price

Quick question: what's the percentage off the list price for a new toyhauler? Is it in the 20-25% range? What is the realsitc number I should be shooting for?

  • (realsitc number)If your not laughing at your own offer it's too high!
  • I am convinced MSRP is just there to allow the dealers to work more deals. If you have a trade in that you are making payments on you are likely upside down. The MSRP allows the dealers to roll that into the total cost, or give you an inflated trade in value and still finance the new trailer since the bank still sees the deal as within the list price. Obviously causes a person to overpay but it's a game the dealers play to make the sale, and if you are in a situation where you are ok overpaying a bit for a new trailer then it works out. Overall 25-30% seems to be the number.
  • Depending on the popularity of the model and demand in the area you are buying, you should be able to easily get between 20% & 30% off MSRP. The easier it is for the dealership to sell a particular model, the less they will discount.

  • Got 30% off on ours. But it makes me wonder if the MSRP is a bogus number to begin with. What if the stated MSRP is the true MSRP inflated by 30% knowing it'll be reduced 30%? What if it's just a big scam to make us think we're getting a super cool deal? I look at my Voltage and can't imagine there being $109k worth of stuff in it but after my 30% off it seems more real.
