Quick update.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH NORTHWEST RV SALES IN SALEM!
Buyer beware!
We tried to buy this camper from them, they did not follow through with their end of the deal. First they informed us we would need 10% down on the loan. This was before we had even done the credit application. That should have been the first and only red flag. Been buying trucks, cars, rv's motorcycles and other toys for the last twenty years, have perfect credit and never once have been required to "put 10% down". Ever.
But my wife really wanted the camper, so I took the day off work the next day and went down to do the loan and get prices for parts. They promised 10% above cost on parts, great. Should have just went to my credit union but wanted to see if the dealer could do better. Has worked in my favor in the past.
They took my application, did not give me prices on parts (parts guy is new and didn't know what a super truss was....red flag number two) I give him the benefit of doubt and give him the actual 'art numbers to make his job simple.
Was told to go home, we will call.Ok, weird I have always bought within 30 minutes and signed papers within the hour. So I leave and figured I would hear later that day...maybe they we busy and backed up.
This was on Monday of last week. We get a call from the salesman on Thursday (who was as frustrated as we were) and he says the finance lady said they need 10% down, even though the camper retailed over 8k higher than agreed upon price. And to top it off, they could not give me prices on parts (no reason given) and the purchase order never had them included! I'm pissed and here is the red flag number 3...even if I secured my own loan.....we couldn't buy the camper. The salesman told us the entire staff was locked out of the lot and "There is some insurance issues that shut the lot down for at least a week".
The salesman told us he thinks they want to unwind the deal as they have two other buyers lined up and agreed to sell us the camper cheaper!
We are friends with the salesman, my wife used to work with him. He said they are shady and he is quitting that lot.
So, sucks but we are going with the Wolf Creek again and Gauranty in Eugene has been awesome to deal with and they are giving us an incredible deal!
