FULL DISCLOSURE:
I don't own a Class A, but I know autos so I'm just using basic purchasing and math skills. YMMV
I agree with crasster.
The moment you drive it off the lot, it becomes a two-year old used coach.
You have to take that huge depreciation hit into account, and take it right off the top for starters.
It's not your fault no one else wanted to buy it, so it shouldn't cost you money because of it.
Isn't it generally assumed anyone can negotiate 25% off a brand new RV?
If so, then:
$119,000 - 25% = $89,250 is the starting point, then subtract the two-year depreciation hit from that.
So $70-ish...but it comes down to demand for the coach. It's been sitting, clearly people aren't lining up to buy it...and it's costing that dealer money every single day he has to floorplan it. He needs to cut his losses.
Take advantage of your negotiating position.
The worst the dealer can say is "no" :B
