Purchase Price advice on 2 yr old New TT
I've run into a 'deal' I'm seriously considering. A lot has a 2012 New (as I assume unused) TT. MSRP is ~$23.5K, asking was >$18K and he is willing to take ~$13K with my pup trade in (about $1,500)....

Wow, some excellent advice from all of you. Thanks to you all!
A) Yes, this is model is currently on the top of our list. We are checking it out because it's what we think we want, the "deal" makes it attractive. It has everything we need and a few we don't. We have a show tomorrow to check out other locally available brands, this model may or may not be present.
B) A point blank question "has it ever been slept in" is superb, thanks!
C) National RV dealers want about $17K +/- $100 for new, and I have to go get it. This one is four hours away. Locally it is a little less than $18K. $14.5K seems reasonable to me.
D) Humm, I have a hard time confronting people with things like: It needs new tires, you must caulk the roof, etc. But that's me and I know it. When we go look at it both of us will be able to gauge the seller for honesty and forthrightness. Neither of us will buy from a pushy salesperson who is not on the up and up.
E) Sounds like an excellent idea to get dirty and crawl around and under the thing. I may not know what I'm looking at but if lots of dirt or mold shows where it shouldn't for a new TT, flags will be hoisted.
Again, thanks all, any more tips will be greatly appreciated.
