TIA for any advice. I plan to purchase a TT soon. I have looked at our only local dealer (CW) and their discounts are incredible. Is that typical? We are looking in the 24' range and the "sales price" is usually around $10,000 off the sticker price.For example, most of the ones we have been looking at are approximately $26k-$28k on sale for $16k-$18k. Since we haven't looked before we don't know if thats something they always do or is it just a really good time to buy. I don't want to rush into the purchase just to "get the good deal" but would also hate to be paying full price on one if we wait and miss the sale.
Also, a few other questions if you don't mind:
1. Are any of the brands known to be cheaply made and are any known to be higher quality?
2. What length and weight limit would you consider for a 2013 F150 FX4?
3. Thoughts on buying 1-2yr old versus new from dealer? Would like it to be very newish, but could do without all of the extra dealer fees and would appreciate any savings.
4. Any other buying tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Usually you can get 25% to 35% off MSRP anywhere. Of course you can't tell if that MSRP is legit or just a made up number. If you are dealing with CW, just for grins let them run the numbers and get the out the door price, you might be surprised after all the add-ons. Proceed with utmost caution. There is no such thing as a "sale."
1. They are all cheaply made and of low quality, just some worse than others.
2. My opinion without knowing the options or tires, stay below 24 foot and 5,000 lbs. Give full particulars for better advice.
3. Buying used can save a lot of money, but have it inspected and know that many have been mistreated. That mistreatment might be from a novice just doing improper jacking or service.
4. Do a lot of homework before buying, this is just the first baby step.
