deleted topic

i don't need to start my search over. This all happened before I bought the Damon Daybreak that I am in the process of buying. I am just getting around to *****ing about it now.

By the way, a deposit was put on the current MH.

You have to look at it form the dealers standpoint. Ever heard the term "Be Back"? That refers to the majority of consumers who say "I'll be back". of 20 people that say "I'll be back" maybe one will actually be back. You are that one of 20.

No deposit, no contract, you were considered a "Be Back". They are going to sell to who ever comes up with the cash first.

Cash talks. No amount of emails or calls is going to change that. Harsh reality.

This is a forum so I would expect that if people had a bad experience buying an RV they would share it here.......just as I did.

All we are getting is your story which isn't adding up. First you said there was no response on there behalf on your trade - so you sold it. Now you say you knew they didn't want it. (Their words)Yet this seems to be a issue somehow.

You said that a price was agreed upon, yet there was no deposit wanted?? In my years of buying RV's a deposit is always asked for to secure the "one you want".That would tell me right there they didn't sell it out from under you. It was never yours to begin with, without a deposit and purchase agreement in writing.

I'm surprised that you actually thought a deal was in process. All we have is what your telling us, but it's not enough in this case to throw this dealer under the bus IMHO.

Lesson learned....A contract is only a contract if it's WRITTEN, SIGNED and DEPOSIT accepted.....time to start your search again. At least you won't need the owner's manual....:W.....there's a better deal waiting out there for you and now you have financing lined up and no trade talk in your negotiations.....Dennis

No deposit NO DEAL. Did you make a deposit?

Maybe they did you a favor, poor service before and after the sale is never good. Time to go out and look for a Winnie, Newmar or Tiffin could be a plan for after the sale support.

Not sure what your trying to accomplish. I too think there are two sides to every story. I'm sure we'll never know the other side. If you were able to achieve selling your unit ( which you made all the money on) and obtain financing, go wherever you wish to buy what you want.

I'm thinking there was some agreement or consideration they were going to make some money off your old RV, and when you sold it on your own the deal didn't work for them. In the interim they found someone else willing to pay more for the one you wanted. You won by selling your old MH and they won selling theirs for more money. Win win in my book.

Did you give them a deposit?

I, too, would find somewhere else to find a motorhome. I think it's good that you found out how they treat their customers before the deal.

We don't know their side of the story but just following your side, if the lack of communication is evident now, just think what it would have been like when you took possession of the motorhome and had problems?

Good luck,
