Re: Best Way To Sell A Dinghy
I know I'm replying to an old post but thought someone may find this useful. I went to trade my dingy (Jeep Wrangler) for a new dingy (Chevy Silverado). The dealer gave me a trade price for my Jeep which I didn't like. I walked. I played the fact the Jeep was equipped for towing behind an RV. I waited for the last day of the month and coincidently the dealership was advertising a sale. I told them that I really wanted to trade but because I had the tow gear, I needed more money for my trade. The used car manager got involved, made a few calls, and I got two grand more than the original offer. Like I said, it could be a coincidence and they really needed to make a deal. Whatever it took, it worked for me. Gunner532Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006
Excellent article. My wife and I are first time buyers and have done just about everything you have suggested. We have visited countless RV shows and have a ton of brochures that we have requested by way of the Internet. We have educated ourselves to the point we think we know what we need/require and are on our way to visit the dealer that carries what we want so we can see the RV hands-on. The one topic that I need help with is the toad. We had originally thought that we would tow our Nissan Xterra, but have reconsidered as this vehicle weighs in at over 4000lbs empty. The question is what type of toad to purchase and should it be trailered or towed. We also plan on taking our Harley Davidson which will factor into the decision making process. Should we put the Harley on a lift behind the coach and tow a toad or should we just spring for a trailer to haul both the motorcycle and dinghy? All opinions welcomed and thanks in advance. 45Gunner485Views0likes0Comments
