Well, we've got the bug for a new or lightly used class A, but one thing that is holding me back (other than the financial aspects) is the negotiation process with a dealer. I absolutely dread it. I hate being holed up in a corner somewhere and having three or four people ganging up on me. Salesmen, sales managers, finance guys, store managers........ It's a nightmare.What tips or suggestions can you folks suggest to try and make the process at least bearable? Heavy sigh, and thanks.

If you dont have the ability to negotiate there are professionals that will do it for you. Of course they charge a fee.

Remember you always have the ability to walk out. Hand them a card with your phone number on it and say "this is the offer" and walk. Its your money and your choice.

If they don't agree, walk away.I'm sure they will call you the next day.
