We bought our 2009 Class C motorhome in November and our current 2014 Class A the end of November, both here in Michigan. I was very pleased with the deals we made on both and indefinitely think I made a better deal by purchasing when I did. Particularly on the 2009 due to market conditions at the time.
With the Class A we just purchased, we had it fully re-winterized after doing a full pre-delivery inspection and then drove it home where it is sitting in our driveway until spring. We then re-checked it fully before driving it off the lot.
I have full confidence that you can make an excellent deal now.
Do your research on the particular unit you want. Research what they have recently been actually selling for in our area. Then I would offer 5% below that. Offer it in person if possible. Dealers hate to have you walk out. Make your offer, make it in a confident manner. Be prepared to go ahead and walk out. If they don't accept your offer and allow you to walk; they will call you.
Our dealer didn't let me walk out.
I held firm to both my offer on the new unit, and what I wanted for our trade-in. I was there for 2 hours. I walked out with the deal made at my original offer.
I think you can make it happen. To us, it was worth having it in our driveway, versus there lot for the next few months. Good luck.
