How much does your dealer location matter in a purchase?
I am considering purchasing a new class A. I have checked dealers in my town on prices for the unit and for my trade in. I have also contacted dealers nationwide. I can get a better sale price and better trade in price elsewhere but I wonder is it worth the savings? Here are my thoughts/questions.
1. Does having a local dealer that you purchased from really matter once you purchased the coach? Are they really going to treat you differently with regards to service down the line since you purchased from them ? Or is it all the same once you sign the papers?
2. If I do purchase a new coach from out of town and I need warranty work done am I obligated to contact my purchase dealer first ? Or do I contact Fleetwood and authorize a local shop to do the work? I am looking at a Fleetwood Bounder.
My current thinking is that any savings of over $20,000 over the entire deal with worth buying from out of state. $10-15k savings is kinda in the grey zone and depends on distance. Anything less than $10k in savings might not be worth it in the end.
Any thoughts or advice on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.
