Burtonsville... well hello neighbor! I'm over in Cloverly!!!
I would take the newest quote from the further dealer and try to negotiate some more with your local dealer. $4000 is a lot of money. Chances are that your deposit is substantially less than the $4000 you would save by going elsewhere. If it was my commission and I had already done the work, I would be willing to accept a lower commission than no sale at all.
Just curious what your local dealer is versus your out of state dealer. I bought mine at Keystone Mega RV in Greencastle, PA. Its a little over an hour drive, but I saved a LOT of money going with them and they have a great service department.
Just remember though, RV dealerships aren't like car dealerships. Your local RV dealer has no obligation to service a trailer that was purchased elsewhere, even if they sell the same brand. Most dealerships seem to be loyal to their customers and would make someone else wait for warranty work. Just a thought.
Hi neighbor going to use the out of state dealer to negotiate local. RVwholesalers is the out of state dealer in Ohio (have to take my true there) 1000 miles round trip. Leo's rv is the local dealer, easier to get my trade there. Like the idea of servicing local.
I purchased from Leo's after negotiating with a out of state dealer.
Leo's was very competitive on the price.
However I give Leo's a 7 on a scale of 1-10.
They sell more units than they can service. While they put on a good front. I have not been impressed by their service dept.
They do have a decent parts dept. and will assist you however they can. As long as you don't have to actually count on them for service you'll be fine.
My unit was assembled well and did not require any warranty service.
But if you do require service be prepared for a long wait and just OK workmanship.
Luckily I have not needed any service from them and there is a decent independent service guy in the same area.
If you do buy from Leo's be sure to do a thorough PDI. Make sure everything is 100% before you sign, while you have their full attention and are at the front of the line.
Leo's sells a lot of units and can be very competitive on pricing.
They can get very close to the out of state pricing if you press them
