Re: New Location For Licensing
Cummins12V98 wrote: I mostly have the SD DL and License Plates so I can Double tow in CA and it seems to work in OR and WA (YES it's NOT legal there). I would like to get my License Plates and DL in AZ since double tow is legal there and CA recognizes them also. AZ in not too far from where I winter in CA. So now you have the background, SUGGESTIONS? My understanding is that drivers license are are accepted by all states in a reciprocal agreement, but laws such as double towing, speed limits, etc are state specific, If double towing is illegal in a state it is illegal regardless of where you are licensed.379Views0likes0CommentsRe: ? 3 Purchasing Questions
Dealer tells us all discounts and rebates are applied to the price. How can I tell that's a true statement? Is there any way to verify I'm getting every penny of every discount and rebate (assuming there are any and dealer not blowing smoke)? The only way I am aware of is to comparison shop a couple dealers for the same make and model and out the door pricing. Is it better - is there any difference? - to buy at a show or at the dealership location. We already know what we want, so this won't be an impulse purchase at a show. Unless we get a price we can't refuse. Some say yes, some say no. Refer to number 1 above. Do dealers tack on additional fees (dealer prep, paperwork filing, etc) above and beyond the agreed purchase price? Our last truck purchase we walked away from the first two agreements because of this...nothing but pure profit in the dealer's pocket. Depends on the dealer. Again refer to number 1. There is not a lot of transparency as there is with automobiles. You really have to do your research.127Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rv lemon law
I will share my experience in hopes it helps you. I always believed the dealer makes a big difference, but the manufacturers also want you to be satisfied. Several years ago we tried a dealer with a good reputation and they were bought by CW right after our purchase. The warranty service was horrible, far worse that you have documented so far. Months at their facility with us calling every few days. Lies about the manufacturer denying warranty work. Losing our camper for few days when cold weather was setting in (I asked if they would winterize it as they had it for 3 months, They agreed for a fee. At this point I was so livid I was going to drive the 2.5 hours each way and do it myself rather than give them any money). They agreed to do it for no charge and then called me back to see if I picked it up because they could not find it. After talking with the manufacturer I made arrangements to bring it to the factory in Indiana for repairs. They sub'd it to another company and most of the repairs were completed. Granted I had to make the trip to Indiana from NC at my expense, but it was worth it after working with a dealer who really did not care. They also delivered it back to us. Unfortunately all the repairs were not completed so we contacted the manufacturer again, This time they sent a driver to pick it up and offered to deliver it. We opted to pick it up in Indiana so we could test everything. All was good at that point and we were technically out of warranty. If you choose this route I would suggest being respectful but firm with the manufacturer, have all your documentation listed (what is broken, who you spoke with, what they said, dates times, promises, etc). This really helped us with the manufacturer. Of course if it is smaller items they may recommend another dealer or a mobile tech. I have also had good success with mobile techs. Alpine is in our area and I would recommend them. I hope you are able to resolve your issues. Merry Christmas.497Views0likes0Comments
