Opinion on Pricing 2014 Class RV

We are looking to buy a new 2014 class A Thor motorhome and we are finding that the dealer is still asking the same Price this rig would have been say 6 months ago. Our opinion is that this RV should be reduced since it is technically considered to be at least a year old already and the 2015s are coming in now at almost the same price. When we think about car dealerships they are clearing out their 2014 cars now and we are wondering if dealers do the same with RVs? Also does anyone have any feedback on thor motorhomes and getting them serviced?

This could be due to the decline in the Canadian dollar as of late. The dealer probably bought the unit when the CAD = US exchange rate was more favorable. The dealer may not be able to drop much more and still break even for a new model. Theoretically the dealer will want to take your money and purchase a new rig for inventory. This now costs him more Canadian dollars because of the exchange. Another factor could be the floor plan(financing) is from the factory in US dollars. The dealer may go upside down on the unit if he drops the price more. At some point he may be willing to take the loss and move on. You just have to motivate him to take the loss now.
About 6 months ago the exchange rate was about $1 US = $1.06 CAD now $1 US is about $1.11 5 cents does not seem like much until you get to the fact that each $100,000 CAD has shrunk $5,000.
