My goal was 30% off MSRP which worked out to about $2k more than whole sale out the door. Could I have saved $2k? sure but the dealer is local family owned, well known, right down the road for warranty work and a pleasure to deal with so far. So that $2k is a good investment IMO.
We shall see, new camper comes in this month! thanks for all the help too
There's another aspect to this: your local good-guy dealer might give you a better trade-in price down the road some day, since you will be a "favorite customer"? But mostly - the guy still has to make a living and pay for his facility/employees/overhead, so that he's still in business if and when you DO need him.
