Reasonable Negotiation of MSRP
There is a general target "percentage below MSRP" or "at or near list price" that savvy automobile buyers can often obtain for their automobile purchase. Does this same practice apply to new truck ...

I think I came close to 35% discount from the MSRP on my 2009 AF 811.
But, I bought in January of 2009 also in Idaho. For those of us who remember, the economy was in terrible shape in January of 2009. Leyman had just failed a few months earlier to usher in the "great recession". Fortunately for me, my job was stable enough that I felt confident in buying a new RV. The dealer I bought from stated very clearly that they wanted/needed to move a unit from their lot. When I signed the paperwork, their finance guy basically told me he had never seen as sweet a deal as I was getting.
My point is this: my 35% discount was probably just about the very best deal one could possibly get. Definitely the exception, and not the rule. 20-25% seems more reasonable in today's economic climate.
