Making an offer question

[Sillybugs2]

How do you decide what to offer a dealer? Certain percent off msrp or other? We bought our first before I found this site. Sold that now looking again. Found one but not sure what to offer. It is a Keystone Hideout 28BHSWE. Offered at $22988/ msrp they say is $29800. What would you offer? Even though new we do plan to get it inspected prior to sale. Do we do that before coming to an agreement, during or after. Thanks.

everything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. I would look around the area at competitors and privet sales then start low. worst they can do is say no.

What we did when we just bought our new 38 footer, was decide on what our top price would be, and then started by offering 3K less than that.
We ended up after bartering back and forth, getting it for $500 less than our top price and came away happy.

You can write the deal contingent on passing inspection. If it is not a holdover from last year then start at 30% off msrp. If it is last years holdover start lower than that. They may not agree but it is a good starting point.
