Thank you for your responses! I went to the dealership today and started by telling the sales person that I did not want to negotiate; just give me your best deal. Looking at the Georgetown almost made me cry. It was a beautiful coach last year when it was new, but this had been totally abused. Interior woodwork and stainless was scratched. There were 2 large water stains running down the headboard. Bed Spread was ripped, cigarette burns in the leather recliner, The couch was very dirty as were the captain and co-pilot seat! The right side had moderate body damage. This was totally unacceptable for a 1 -year old coach!
Before I could run out of there, the sales person offered to show me a 2012 Itasca 37F. I was very impressed with this loaded unit and it was very clean with no visible flaws. The price was the same as the Georgetown, $99,999. The only questionable thing was the mileage was 38,000. Seems a bit high, but should I be concerned?
On to my original question regarding the trade. After telling the sales person what I had to trade, he asks, "How much do you want?" I told him $35,000. He did not even flinch and did his normal "I will be right back" Few minutes later, he returns and tells me his manager agreed with my request. I was kinda surprised, almost like I should have went higher!
I will be returning tomorrow with the DW and see if she approves. Sounds like a good deal to me. What to you folks think? Is it too good to pass up?
