Regarding the OP, I’ve learned to detach myself emotionally from the transaction. I don’t take a dealers offer in a trade or their unwillingness to accept an offer personally. Do your homework, establish in your own mind the value of what you want and what you’re willing to offer and be prepared to walk away if the dealer won’t meet your expectations.
The most balanced response yet. :) Reading these posts it's amazing how so many seem to be offended when they're not offered the discounts or value for their trade in they believe they're entitled to when the reality is it's the salesperson's JOB to negotiate as much for any sale that they can. As far as one dealer appearing to be more willing to deal than another, why would one expect anything else? Each business is an independent operation with it's own business plan as set out by the owner(s) - if you don't like what you're offered go to another until you do find what you want at a price you're willing to pay. I agree, there's no need for any salesperson to be rude but be realistic, these people aren't selling RVs because they have a degree in rocket science and could otherwise be working for NASA. :R
Well said.... on both posts here. if you aren't happy with how a dealership is negotiating. move on to another.
