What's a good deal? Big Country 3155
For some of you experienced RV buyers, what's a good deal? Currently looking hard at a Big Country 3155. MSRP is listed at $87,000 and the sale price is $62,000. Is the standard dealer discount off ...

drwwicks is spot on. If your going to trade, do as he said. But based on what you wrote as figures, I don't think that's a good deal, and I'll tell you why.
Last year at this time, we too were in the midst of ordering a new Big Country 3560 SS. Local dealer at that time was going to give us squat for our '06 coach, but his OTD price on a '18 BC was only 25% off MSRP. At 1st this sounded good, until I did some research. Same coach, same specs, we found a dealer 500 miles away for north of 12k less. asked local dealer if that's his best price, came back w/ another price which was still 9k more than the out of state dealer!!!! Was able to sell our '06 coach for more than what local dealer was going to offer on trade. In fact, local dealer had the same coach BC on his lot w/ less add on's than what we wanted for more money than one we got!!!! When I questioned him on the % off as I just got a flyer from his dealer and it showed something like 30% off, his reply was "Yea if you want something that's been here for awhile".
So we had to travel 2 days, spend 1 night and spent around 4-500 bucks to get the BC, BUT still came out ahead.
FWIW, go to Couches RV Nation website, type in TV info and it will spit out a price for you. Any add'l features not listed, ask/call them up as that's what we did. Took a few calls, but got what we wanted. Oh, ours spec'd out at just over 91K and OTD was 57K. Was willing to give local dealer the biz if he came down even 1/2 the diff in price between him and Couches. All I got was, "Thanks for calling".
