What is a good percentage off MSRP

I Never buy new,I take my time and find what soots us then look for a 2-3 year old,that way somebody else has taken care of the rattles,warranty work,I have my last RV now.It had more than we wanted but we made a great deal,When I found it had 6 new tires,3 new batterys,Plus a full tank of gas,rides great,very happy it takes time to find a good one,but there are a lot of very nice RVs for sale,

There are some basic points that affect the whole process. Are you trading in a unit ?? Are you ready to pay or have to finance through the dealer ?? Do you intend to order new build or buy out of inventory ?? All this goes into the net-net you can get. It's a pain but remember a couple % is commonly 2000 to 5000 out of your pocket. If you can pay (don't need/want the dealer to finance) and you will order new build you are likely in the strongest position.

How can you make sure you have the real MSRP?

I recommend you go to one of the major online discounters to get a sanity check: www.mhsrv.com, and www.rvdirect.com. They will give you by email in minutes their bottom line price, with no subsequent hassle. They stock most of the Thor and Forest River models, and now some Winnies & Newmars (rvdirect).

I have been told to expect 30%-35% off for Thor and FR, but likely 25% for the Winnies & Newmars.

90% off is best. Anything between that and 0 is good. I just keep my money in my pocket and refuse to purchase. I get 100% off.

What's the point of your post? The original poster asked a legitimate question. If it's meant to be funny --it's not. If it's meant to chastise someone for wondering what constitutes a good deal is --it's obviously not helpful.

hwy he flys a mooney, try and understand:@

If I was buying a new coach I would be contacting several dealers that sell the same brand and price the identical coach. Not an easy task I know but with technology and some time invested a good average price could be determined. I'm sure their will be a lot of excuses, delivery charges,delivery delays, etc, but a general price should be attainable. The salesman and I really connected, both retired teachers of the same subject, and had quite a conversation. He gave me tips I have never forgotten! Dave

Be extremely careful with the window sticker. A salesman told me that the dealership prints their own window sticker and add whatever prices they feel they can get away with for the so called accessories. Ever seen a class a without a generator, refrigerator, awnings, etc!! Easy to give a large percentage off when you create your own price! Car dealers can't do this, government monitoring, but RV dealers can and do. Buyer beware, do your research.

You say dealers some will print there own prices, i do believe this. but you say do your homework maybe you could shade some light on this statement and give us some details.

All these different figures are mind blowing to me. I found 2 coaches that were similar to what I wanted at two different dealerships. I went back and forth to the 2 dealers getting them to drop prices until one dealer sat on one price and would not budge.

38% off of a new year old unit!
