I know this topic has been discussed many times before, but I am curious if negotiating purchase has changed at all. I'm interested in the Sprinter chassis type class C motorhomes. They are pretty pricey, but really nice. So, as an example... if the real MSRP is $125,000 as an example, what type of offer is possible while still respectable? For the sake of a simple example, keep trade-in's and financing out. Any other advice?

Thanks in advance.

First REAL MSRP --- is misleading, I'm not sure there are real MSRP's.

General rule you will hear and see is 25%-35% off the so called MSRP.

Beware, some dealers, will try to get admin fees for paperwork, transportation fees for when rig delivered to them, and PDI (pre-delivery inspection)….. Some charge them, some don’t, and some try then bargain them out to make a sale.

MSRP: can be different throughout US, although fairly close, normal is to get 25-35% off MSRP. MSRP do seem sort of made up, they will say depends on how a unit is equipped, etc….

Do your homework, through the internet, you can find what a fair selling price, can be had. There are whole-sale dealers, and some dealers that advertise discounted selling price available.

Also local dealers will also, say they will work closely through any warranty issues (usually 1 year), if you purchase from them. Many dealers, will not work on units they did not sell (warranty work that is), or not quickly work on warranty work.

So get to know service options in your area, including how competent their service department is.


Many negotiate accessories also with a new purchase.


Good Luck

The "real" MSRP is what is published by the manufacturer. If you get a build sheet from a dealer you can see the RV and options to total up if you were ordering from the factory. Add that up, take 25% off and there's your target.

I placed a factory order and worked 3 dealers. One local and two that are noted for having very competitive pricing. The local dealer came within several hundred dollars of another (in Ohio) onece I presented them with what I was being offered so that kept me in town.
