You can rest assured that no matter how good a deal you managed, someone bought it cheaper and someone paid more.
My approach is to tell the sale man the price is the out the door price and is the number that goes on the check. I do not care how they want to figure in the dealer's various fees and charges but I only bring one check, the rest comes out of their pocket.
The price is easy, I can afford a certain amount. Period, end of statement. If they will not sell the TT to me for that, I move on. If my price is way off I will know after a few dealer turn me down.
Make sure the price include all the things you need, including the hitch, the hitch mounting and adjustment, battery, LP tanks and a thorough walk through.
Buying a TT is not a race and sometimes the cheapest deal is not the best. Also remember Floor Plan remains when all else is forgotten.
Good Luck,
Sounds like you and I went to the same School of Negotiating.
I ALWAYS dictate the price I am paying based on my research. If the dealer declines my offer, I politely thank them for their time and move on to the next. I also leave my phone number indicating that if they change their mind, to please give me a call. One of two things ALWAYS happens; I either find a dealer to accept my offer or the other dealer calls me back with a "change of heart".
Furthermore, I don't play games. I'm not interested in wasting their time or mine.
