We went to a RV show earlier this year to get a feel for whats out there and at the time I was not prepared to buy a TT but was being pushed into it(not to our liking)by a dealer and then they didn't give us a print out of what that TT was being sold to me for. I am not the type of person that spontaneous buys anything - I like to look at it and think about it. (Yes sometimes I miss out - can't tell you how many times I 'missed out' on a car cuz I dragged my feet.) The salesman wasn't happy as he wanted that sale that day. I approached him later to ask him a few more questions - he became unavailable.
I am trying to remember all the fees they were throwing onto the price.
Remember, I am buying used. I am currently corresponding with a salesperson on a TT. I wanted the 'rock bottom' price (their words not mine) and she asked if I was trading one in, if I wanted delivery, accessories ect ect. I did not want to give her the upper hand or for her to tack more money onto the price, so my reply was 'as it sits'.
Besides the price/tax/title what other fees should I prepare myself for? I will not have any delivery charge because we have a tow vehicle. (I found that delivery can be anywhere from 1.25 mile to 1.80 mile) Is it necessary for them to 'prep' it?
All input is appreciated.
All good questions might want to start another thread to get better input and coverage:
Common threads I have seen in RV Sales (although some/many claim not to pay & bargin not to pay these fees) ---
Transportation Fees added on after price of trailer (claim the conusumers has to pay the transporation fee to the dealer, not included in the price of the rv). Although a used trailer, was probaly traded in, so I don't see where there could be a transportaion fee.
Adminstartion fees
Prep Fees (some dealer charge, should be part of the sale).
Prep is for their service go over the complete systems of the trailer, confirming all works or any issues. Also they should perform a PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) going over all systems with the new owner, explaining and showing all works. PDI's should not be a charge.
