First as to your Honda MSRP comment. I have purchased 16 new Hondas starting in 1979. I have always paid much LESS than MSRP. Much less.
My Winnebago MSRP pricing comment. Winnebago's policy is dealers are not allowed to advertise LESS than MSRP for the current model year. After the next model year is introduced dealers can advertise pricing less than MSRP. Even if buying the current model year, bargain for 25% OFF MSRP. I would never buy a current model year Winnebago product for less than 23% off MSRP.
Cracks me up that this advise comes from a person who has not bought new in the last 10 years - could it be things have changed in that time
Yea, I'm sure the last time he even though of looking at a newer rig was at least a decade ago :R and any poster who hasn't bought a new motorhome in the last thirty days is totally unqualified to post, right?
As for the Hondas, We have bought two in the last few years, both were CRVs. Both were moving briskly from the dealer in the northeast that sells of them than anybody else. Both were offered for $7-800 over invoice, and I left the place paying $500 under.
If those are the advertising rules from Winny, they certainly don't enforce them much, since places like RVTrader.com show hundreds of new, an steeply discounted units, from dealers all over the lower 48.
