The dealership that has the particular model motor home I want to buy is requiring my credit card information before price negotiations can begin. Is this a normal requirement to negotiate final selling price or something I should be suspicious of?
Thank you for your help.
Under NO circumstances give this guy your credit card number. He has NO business with it. It's not part of the deal.
Your best response to this:
"If I decide to put the purchase price on my card I'll let you know" and then continue with the negotiation/looking.
And whatever you do, despite those here that have said so...DO NOT discuss whether you are paying Cash, Financing or God forbid have a trade in up front. AT BEST tell him the deal is cash. (As any financing is seen by dealers)except their in-house financing. Get his best price first. Then ask how much he will take off that price for Cash/no trade?
