my first RV. I have read many times on here to buy used. The problem is most of the 2-4 year old RV's I see are priced (asking) close to what I think I can buy a new unit for.
So, how much below the asking or advertised price should I expect the seller to accept? And, would that % be different for an RV dealer versus a private seller?
FWIW, I am looking at 5th wheels. I want a toy hauler but DW may have a different idea.
Thanks
depends on how motivated the seller is to sell and how motivated the buyer is to buy. best advice...determine how much you are willing to spend regardless of how much you love the RV (there will always be another one) or the great deal you're offered. stick to your budget. if not paying cash....better to stay out of debt...then put diwn enough to stay right side up for the life of the loan. don't appear eager to buy. and always, always have the unit inspected by a qualified RV and automotive tech who has no interest in the transaction.
good luck.
