Dealer Invoice
That link is not a very accurate source. If it is I did pretty good by paying over $3K less than the dealers invoice on our 2017 Rockwood.
I did a lot of research and requested a lot of quotes online to order our current unit. Then I simply called the closest dealer for the brand, told them what I wanted and was willing to pay. It was very much a take it or leave it proposition. They took it and I don't think I left much on the table if anything. Get a quote from RVW or some of the other self proclaimed wholesalers if they carry the brand. In reality they are just dealers the same as any other dealer. Plenty of other dealers in the same geographical market will match and often beat their prices.
Agreed, the dealer cost seems really high compared to what people are actually paying.
That's how the dealer makes you THINK you are getting something over on them ;)
And its amazing how many people take the bait.
"Special Show pricing" = At least $1K more than I could of purchased for from off the dealers lot. Someone pays for floor space at the expo or convention center and its not cheap. Its not the dealer who pays for it.
"MSRP" = One is born every minute, here comes one now, lets see if we can get him to pay MSRP or close to it. Better yet lets print out a fake invoice with an MSRP we pulled from thin air, and let it lay in the trailer. We can also plaster it all over the net.
"Dealer Invoice" = Harder to get info than the access code to the nuclear football. Hint...take the accurate MSRP as reported by the manufacturer, if you can find it. Deduct 30% then deduct another 25% from that number. You're now in the ballpark within 5% one way or the other.
Our 2017 Rockwood Roo with options was listed at $31K by Rockwood. We paid $19K out the door, a straight cash deal with no trade. I have met three other 23WS owners at the campground. None had as many factory options. Two were purchased from the same dealer. They paid $24K, $25.5K, and the third who purchased from RVW paid 22K plus took the hit with their financing arrangement that their price is always dependent on.
