Having bought two RVs from Lazydays, I will tell you a couple things I have encountered or observed.
While searching for our present RV, I would go online to Lazydays, put in all the parameters I was looking for, and the list would show up with seven or ten that fit. Looking at details for each, as soon as I clicked on them, most, if not all, would say they were sold, or arriving soon.
When I found one finally that looked promising and did not say sold, I contacted a salesman. He told me since I could not get there to until four days later to look at it, to put a $250 deposit on it to hold it. I did that. Later that week I found another that said arriving soon, and called to ask when it would arrive. The salesman looked it up, and said it was there now, went out to look at it, and called me back to say it was so nice I should switch my deposit.
I did, and when I arrived at Lazydays several people were looking at the first one we considered. It was still in the exchange lot, where customers move from their trade in to their new one. We bought the second as it really was a nice Rv.
While there, we watched customers going up to the trade in entrance, where there are always four or five in line to check in, and making offers (I am not making this up) to the folks in line. I talked to people who told me that had happened to them.
So, I have seen them sell. They have about 120 salesman and it happens fast. Several years ago we were with our friends who were negotiating to buy a Bounder and the salesman's cell phone rang. After answering it, he said, sorry folks. That one's just been sold.
I am not making any of this up.
