We paid $26K for our 2011 camper brand new. Looking over craigslist looks like we could get over 22-23k for it. While a brand new 2017 one looks to be about $38K at the local dealer....msrp is about 55k.
Yes I like brand new, but we shop carefully and you should be able to get 30 percent off the MSRP. Did the same on our toyhauler.
If new ones were similar price when you bought yours, you negotiated down to almost 50 percent of MSRP. That's amazing. I'd sure buy new for that price. I'm a decent negotiator, but I can't imagine any sane dealer giving 50 percent off MSRP or roughly another 30 percent of their price on the lot.
Reality check? Are there better dealers for that? Better states?
Well the MSRP on these things have really climbed the last few years. The MSRP on the 2011 back then was around 38k if I remember correctly. But yes $26K was amazing. Lance's large side door model was our other final pick and we couldn't get the dealer to go below $35K on it.... (yes some option differences, but still crazy $$$ difference)
