We just bought a new 2016 TT and were able to buy at better than 30% off MSRP when all was said and done, but it took us 2 weeks from our first point of negotiqtion to get there. An often overlooked point of leverage is the "end of the month". Salesman and dealers oftentimes will give that little extra to the customer to make the deal happen in order to meet an individual or company sales goal and that is what happened in our case. The dealer actually called us to re-open negotiations on what we thought was a dead deal and it turned out to be an additional $1200 swing in our favor on an MSRP of $34.5k and a new TT in our driveway. Ironically, this was our 2nd attempt at a purchase as the first dealer wasn't very receptive to the RVtrader lowest price starting point. After asking for a price on the unit in stock, the salesman asked me to make him an offer. I did...at the lowest price I found online and the salesman said he'd get back to me shortly with a counter-offer. He left me a voice mail later that evening to say "We're not close. I'll call you again tomorrow". I'm not sure what kind of counter-offer "we're not close" is, but I never heard from him again.
