Brand new 2014. What % discount?
In about 45 days this DP will be 2 year models old. It was manufactured in 7/2013. What % off should I offer? No trade, cash deal. Thanks for the advice. Sherry

I have found, after buying several units over a number of years, that the typical discount off of MSRP on a new unit is right around 30%. You might be able to dicker off a few more HUNDRED here or there, but figure 30% for a new one on the lot. I have never ordered from the factory, so I do not know the spread there.
On occasion you see one discounted more, but I have found it usually is due to the unit being an odd floor plan or interior color or some other situation which makes it a unit that has limited appeal, a bunkhouse Class A for example is harder to get rid of as the majority of young families (reguiring a bunkhouse) have Class C money and not Class A money.
Where we do all of our business, Colerain RV, they have a 2014 Winnebago Sightseer marked down from $153,855.00 to $115,973.00 a little less than 25% off and the website has a button you can click to get the "Special Price", indicating there is still some room on it. If I remember correctly, they had it listed as Sale Pending a couple of weeks ago, and now it is back on the market, maybe financing fell though, who knows.
I have also come to learn that there is a difference in spread (discount) from MFG to MFG.
Just my opinion/experience from 10 years of buying and researching 4 different RV's.
