Shopping at Lazydays?

Has anyone bought a motorhome from Lazydays? I'll be close to the one in Tampa in a couple of weeks and I thought I would see what they can do for me. Good or bad experiences is what I need to know. Thanks!
  • I would suggest you not go by LD. We went by a few months ago and it ended up costing lots of $$$. You will find something you want and it will cost you.

    We purchased when the snowbirds were returning home.. They were really busy and their service suffered because of being so busy. Because of their selection I would buy from them again
  • As a follow up, I too agree with Peddler. Our used coach was brought back to them within 30 days and they fixed everything on our list and a bunch of stuff they found on their own. No, I'm not in any way connected to Lazydays. We've found them much closer in price when haggling than LaMesa. By the way, there are now four dealers within 3 miles of each other. Lazydays, RvOne, General RV! And Camping World (which they claim is the largest one in the world). Competition should be good.
  • We bought there in 2010. We knew in advance exactly what we were looking for (brand, floorplan, and options) and found it there in an online search. After talking to a salesguy, and getting more info and pics, we drove down from Chicago to inspect and buy. New used coach was waiting for us in the area they have for "moving from your old coach to your new one. All went well, then we spent a couple days in their campground just to make sure. highly recommend them.
  • If it is available, they have it on the lot for you to look at. They offer a lot of service and benefits to buyers and especially to diesel pusher buyers. I too was not able to make a deal with them when I was shopping. They were way high and would not come down, bought elsewhere.

    Service is another issue we have been there a couple of times for service and were not real pleased. I ordered a new shower door from Tiffin under warranty for delivery to LD for installation there. They told me it was not needed and they could fix. They did, it held up less than a month. Finally got to Red Bay and had the new door installed. that was over a month ago and it is fine. Oh, the installation took less than 2 hours in Express Bay.

    Shop there, know what you should have to pay, if they get close you could consider buying from them. If not drive on down the road. There are plenty of dealers looking for your business.
  • I bought my coach there in 2011, good experience, treated fairly. Came with a thirty day warranty on the coach, none on the chassis.
    We took it on a four day shakedown and I emailed a list of issues to LD. Made an appointment for repairs about Two weeks later. When I took it in, I showed them a couple of other issues that we found after the thirty day period was up. They said "no problem" and took care of everything including a couple they found during the time in shop.
    I'd definitely buy there again.
  • We purchased a Class C there in 2011 and everything went smoothly. A little delay in the service area after the paperwork was signed, but nothing to get upset about. We had to take it back a couple of times after purchase and everything went good in the service dept. Would trade there again in the future.
  • I agree with krivanj's comments. Lazy Days is a great place to shop, no pressure, LOTS and LOTS of RV's to look at, all open and unlocked. We know a number of people who have had experiences like krivanj's and purchased motorhome from Lazy Days. Our own personal experience is that we can never reach an agreeable deal with them when we are ready to purchase. One time a number of years ago, we saved almost $20,000 by purchasing from another dealer.

    Since we live only 21 miles from Lazy Days, I wish we could reach an agreement with them!!!! BUT, they are definitely a great place to shop and see lots of RV's.

  • Their service department could improve....you may get good service or you may not. Do not sign for anything until it meets your approval.
  • If you search Lazydays on this forum you will find every opinion you will ever want. We are Lazydays believers, bought three RVs there. They claim to be the biggest in the world.
    They are very nice. You can walk in and walk through every RV by yourself, or with a salesman.
    They are easy to work with, and we believe we were treated fairly each time.

    I would recommend them to my friends. this is my opinion of course.
