What the normal expected discount off MSRP?

[brianosaur]

So what *should* be considered the general discounted price off MSRP?

Is 30% normal, 35% good & 40% great?


(see the super-awesome reason I'm in the market for a new TT HERE.)

I disagree, 2oldman. Similar to car dealers, RV dealers make money on financing. I suggest driving your best deal and then paying cash.

Get competing offers from more than one dealer. After you get dealer 1 “ lowest number”, go to dealer 2 and let him know you already have an offer. And repeat as much as you want.

Been years since we bought ours and I don’t remember the exact numbers, but the following is fairly close. Went to dealer 1 who had the model/floorplan we wanted and he said $40,000. Supposed MSRP was something like $53,000. Problem was the frame was badly rusted even though new. He offered to sandblast and repaint.
Went to dealer 2 who had the exact same 5er in all ways. He said $44,000. I said sorry, already got an offer for same rig for $40,000. He said Ohh, my mistake. My price is $38,000. Plus he threw in some extras. We were wanting to buy so we went for that price. Probably could have worked it a little lower.

Cash is king. Always remember, they're a lot better at this game than you are.
