Making an offer question

Search web for other units, note prices for same model at other locations. Use as ammunition to negotiate your best price. Your geographic area may sell at higher prices but you can learn what they sell for in other areas of the country and use that to your advantage. Keystone is widespread.

I always prefer competition for my dollar. It helps to have a second, or even a third choice from the dealer's competition. Some may say that a low-ball offer isn't good negotiating (I do it always), but the way I look at it is their original sticker price is their "high-ball" starting point. And I always keep in mind that I can get up and walk (over to the next dealer).

If the dealer knows that you really want THAT rig, they have the upper hand in the negotiating process, IMHO

I would search the web for the cheapest you can find it and start lower than that number. If they take your first offer usually you did not get the best deal. If they throw in a bunch of stuff same thing probably. I have the bad habit of heckling days over a few hundred dollars, in the end it's probably more trouble than it's worth. I read some where that people who spend a ton of time haggling over prices and hours at the dealer and in the end get a better price are less satisfied with the purchase over those who spend less time at the dealer and pay more. Go figure

IMHO always good if the dealer. Knows you are dealing with. Multiple dealers. I do negotiating via email. Then when we go to the dealer all we are concerned about is do we want that Traile, car or whatever. Price is already set...

everything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. I would look around the area at competitors and privet sales then start low. worst they can do is say no.

What we did when we just bought our new 38 footer, was decide on what our top price would be, and then started by offering 3K less than that.
We ended up after bartering back and forth, getting it for $500 less than our top price and came away happy.

You can write the deal contingent on passing inspection. If it is not a holdover from last year then start at 30% off msrp. If it is last years holdover start lower than that. They may not agree but it is a good starting point.
