I am looking to spend around $90k to $100k.
Remember ask for about 1/3 off asking price and get something close to that off.
What do you mean? If I was looking to purchase a new RV and the dealer is asking $90k I should offer $60k???
Yup thats correct!
How I found this out was that I traveled from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati (Holman's) just to look at a bunch of Keystone Alpines and I didn't know that Holmans was a wholesaler. Alpine's were being advertised around 75k and theirs were shown in the 50's. Came back to a Pittsburgh dealer and said that Holman's price was x amount, Pittsburgh dealer said he would match it without any hesitation.
Was not ready to buy as I was still gathering info, but when I picked Cedar Creek for my trailer I went to Detroit area (National RV Detroit)because they had a unit that was what I wanted. Talked w/ the salesman did my PDI and offered 30% less than they wanted. They took the deal,I had some ad on's like onan genset, b&w hitch install started paper work and then added my trade in which shocked them. But business is business This time the little guy got the fair deal!
Nice! I watched a video or two on YouTube saying to do just what you did with used trailers but not new. Definitely will now though. In fact I am going to try and get a big reduction when I go to get my new truck as well.
Thanks!
