Be as well informed on current market pricing if you are at the purchasing stage, a deal can be had no matter the time of year, state of economy, or national/global crisis we might be enduring. Since MSRP varies widely, knowing the high and low range across the region helps to identify quickly if a dealer is just jerking your chain, saves the hassle and aggravation.
Better deals are everywhere if you are willing to travel, we drove nearly 1K miles to get our current rig. We all want to think we made the ultimate killer deal, rest assured the dealer made it's margin, and then some if falling for any of their upselling tactics. After always buying new, we decide to go with a lightly used Class A, 16K miles and $20K below market.
