Bottom line: YES it works.
For every customer who walks away, they sell more and at higher prices.
If you go in with the understanding that it's OK to walk away, you hold the power.
If you go in and get intimidated, they hold the power.
Frustrating when you are just looking and trying to decide what you like but when it comes time to buy, you just have to hold firm and be prepared to walk away. Amazing how many times they will chase you out the door with a lower price.
My suggestion just tell them you are looking and not buying today and then don't worry if they get upset because you were honest about your intentions. Otherwise, check out the RV shows where they won't be able to focus on you.
Exactly what I told him.
I'm just trying to see many of the models out there being so many.
I wanna see different floor plans by many & then NEXT year when I'm ready, I choose from my 4 or 5 top favs & look them over again & make my final choice.
We told him we are NOT buying not being we are traveling to Scotland for a month & NOTHING will happen before that.
I also told him I need to sell off a lot of my toys that are taking up space in the space I plan to store the trailer & would be using that money for a larger down Payment!
But he acted as if he never heard any if it.
& then before visiting I told them the same thing on the phone & they said they could store it for me for free for the 1st 4 months until I cleared my space for it.
Push push push! Sell sell sell!
I wonder if their boss threatens to fire them if they don't push hard enough?
Sure, in a month you might change your mind and not buy, go to a different dealer or he might have the day off when you come back.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
If there's anything surprising is that he didn't chase you out the door throwing out lower offers.
You were honest, so it's his problem if he gets upset.
PS: to those suggesting to let the owner know...the owners all know. They may play along and pretend to be shocked but don't believe if for a moment.
