While I realize that salespeople take time off, it has been our experience in the past that this was used as a "ploy" more often than not. I am being told here that the unit probably couldn't be ready in the time period that the salesperson said, this is what I am being told by you all, thus it makes it more suspicious.
We're in our 70's and have never run across all your suspicions, ploys, etc.
While your experience may be that the service people do great work when making repairs to new rvs, that is not always the case. This particular manufacturer used to do a good job, but as with most, there could be some serious flaws.
If you are so afraid of this manufacturer, why are you buying one of theirs?
Does anyone know, do the dealerships simply take these units as a "consignment" from the manufacturers?
No they do not. This is another one of your unwarranted suspicions.
We had a good experience in discussing with another dealership and also when calling the manufacturer and this manufacturer, while not putting out perfect units (none do, not even the 5 star ones as I worked in the office for one years ago), shows a history of "making it right" unlike many who don't know who you are once they have cash in hand.
Highly untrue. There are good manufacturers out there.
I still believe this was nothing more than the old "salesperson switcharoo"! This is also used frequently in auto sales, so beware.
Oh my!! :)
Good luck finding a perfect one for you. It's not going to be easy.
