what is reasonable profit for the dealer

Thank you all for the replies. I am doing my research, and this is part of it. My question stems from the fact that, after I did my research on a particular model, I made an offer, and was pretty much shown the door. No counter offer, no haggle, very much unlike any negotiating I had done for a car or truck.

Since there is no "consumer reports" service available that I am aware of, I just wondered if there was some protocol that I violated in my negotiating. I know the dealer has to make some profit, but it's my money, and I'm kinda attached to it.

I believe it's the dealers way of telling you that they don't think enough of your offer to waste there time negotiating any further.

I agree 100%. For me to counter-offer on any offer, that offer needs to be a good faith offer to buy. If I have my RV for sale for $200,000 and someone offers me $75,000 they are not really making an offer to buy. I am not going to just start lowering my price until I think there is a chance that doing so will lead to a sale.
