Not real knowledgeable on this type of stuff but...here goes. We signed papers for the loan doc last week. Loan was approved yesterday. We are supposed to do our walk through on Monday. However, we have seen some real bad reviews of the dealership that sold us our TT (specifically service) and have also noticed our same trailer for sale for 3K less that what we paid. I asked several times about MSRP and was given a number higher than what the dealer suggests. I am assuming after, doing a little research, the number I was quoted included delivery (2500) and a dealer prep fee. What looked like a good deal (~25% off MSRP) is not looking like such a good deal now (~10% off MSRP).
Chalk this up to being a bad consumer. I took the dealers word about MSRP including freight which I am now quite sure is not the case. Should have been more patient.
we have not taken delivery, are we locked in at this point? We did put 500 down as a deposit which is supposed be added to our down when we go sign papers and do a walk through next Monday. Or do we still have some options, like voicing my displeasure and requesting some options we didn't have, like a roof ladder, battery cut-off, TV, etc.? Can we still walk away?
Sounds like you signed the loan docs but have not signed off on actual possession. As such it probably doesn't change much from one part of the country to the other: you own nothing and still can walk away from the deal if you want.
As for the dealer's costs.....I can't say much on this because I purchased directly from the manufacturer. I will say that you should ensure you are comparing apples to same fruit as per the 3K price differential..meaning is it exactly the same unit as far as amenities not just model; does the new dealer's closing costs differ? Is the new dealer closer or further away from you? Is the loan transferable AND does the loan give you a bargaining chip to work w/ the current dealer?
