We just upgraded TT. The JayFlight 32BHDS was finalist, although we went with the 29QBH instead. The best offer I had came from a local California dealer who I shared my a RVDirect quote with. In January they offered as follows...

32BHDS with Platinum Interior
- Trundle ILO Futon (J Cube)
- Hide-a-bed
- Customer Value Package w/ 15k BTU
- 50 AMP with 2nd AC Prep (not the second AC though)
- Alum Rims
- Power Package
- Roof Ladder
- Technology Package
- Thermal Package
- Single Group 24 battery

24,700 + TTL

I specifically didn't want fiberglass sidewalls so this is alum sidewalls.

Thanks. I sat and got a quote with the local dealer on this exact same model for a new 2013 and they wouldn't go below $29 out the door. If I take the $24700 for a 2014 like you were looking at, minus the additional extra year old, minus the no prep for second AC, minus the tech package, minus the larger AC, minus the power package, I said $24k out the door and wouldn't budge. I think I was being fair. I think the $24700 + 2k for TTL, that is $26700 out the door for the 2014 you were quoted it is reasonable that $24000 out the door for the less amenities 2013 was fair. I am not sure why they wouldn't budge unless they paid $5k for shipping a year ago. Am I off base?

I don't think you are our of line, but it the dealers trailer to sell. There are a lot of folks on this forum and others forums who do lots of research and try to negotiate the best deal...but there are even more who walk into a dealer and see $40k MSRP slashed to $32k think grey got they found the best deal in world and can't sign fast enough. Many dealers know those people are out there and would whether hold their inventory for the deal that pays them $5k more in profit than what you want to offer.

I don't fault them, nor do I think you should pay their price because that's the begs they will offer. Be willing to travel a couple hundred miles. Dealers pulling customers from other areas see that as "found money" and might be willing to negotiate a bit more than with more local customers they feel entitled too.

Best of luck.
