The dealer was trying to have us think we were being unreasonable, sounds like we weren't at all. Will definitely have a look at the roof and double check on the title. Everyone's closed today but we'll be calling in the morning to let them know we're holding firm on our offer or taking a road trip to Chicago for the other one!Advice on purchasing new, hail damaged trailerMy husband and I are looking at purchasing a new 2014 Trail Runner SLT 22 SLE. The unit we have looked at locally has hail damage to the rear siding only, nothing structural or problematic, but LOTS of little dings all over it, still covered under warranty, etc. We are trying to figure out what is a fair price given the damage. We have found the same trailer, new but 2013, with no hail damage, halfway across the country for $12k. We're thinking, the local unit is local (which we would prefer), newer, and has enclosed underbelly BUT is damaged. The other unit is a 2013, no enclosed underbelly but also no damage. We're completely willing to drive to Chicago to get the other one, but we'd rather buy local. What would be a fair price? We were thinking the two come out the same given the damage so we'd like the 2014 for $12k. Thoughts?
