Used but almost new price opinion

You likely won't get a straight answer on price unless they thought you were serious. They'll give you a number North of $100k and expect you to come to the dance, with trade, cash etc and once it's written up and negations are over you'll have the price. But tire kicking won't get you a straight answer. And remember, the early bird gets the worm. But the second mouse gets the cheese. If this is the unit you want and you already know you are confined to trying to find that model within that timeframe, that's a small corner you've painted yourself in. When one comes up, you should get serious. Hard to tell when/if another comes along.

There are other models that we like so I'm not sure I have painted myself in a corner. This just happens to be our favorite model but the dealer doesn't know this. I purchased my current TT as a tire kicker. I told the dealer that I wasn't quite ready to purchase yet (Lazy Days) but they had a model that I liked and wanted to look at. They made me a deal I couldn't refuse (much less than I thought I could get) and I ended up purchasing the unit. I was wanting to save up another year for a larger down payment but the price was right. If a dealer gives a high price right off the bat, they will more than likely not get my business. The only experience I have had is with Lazy Days and they gave me a good price with my initial inquiry even though I told them I probably wasn't ready to purchase yet (tire kicker).
