New Golden Gate Owner
Its been a long two days, but looks like my wife, (Sandi) and I are the proud owners of a 2005 landmark Golden Gate 5er. Has all the options we wanted plus the color scheme,which is the Martha's Vinyard. We had started looking locally in Panama City at Holiday on Wheels. Loved the coach hated the price they were asking. Soooooooo after surfing the web for awhile I found a Golden Gate in Atlanta for about 18,000.00 less. We decided to go look and touch to see if this is a good deal or a come on. We left bright and early yesterday(Fri) and arrived at Camping Time RV about 3:30pm and started looking and negoiating the price. We ended up putting down a refundable deposit took paper work with us with the thought in mind that we would sleep on it. On the way home I said I would like to give the local shop one more chance. We were at the dealers at 9:00am this morning presented paperwork from Atlanta and said beat the deal and we will buy here. We both thought they wouldn't do it but had to try.(we had heard war stories about Holiday being hard to deal with.) They beat the price by an additional 800.00 plus knocked off money on the dealer prep plus their intrest rate was .6 or .7 better. Needless to say we are very excited and ready to go camping.

Which dealer are you refering to? Holiday on Wheels in Panama City or the one in Ga. How soon were you planning on buying. The reason I ask this is my wife and I are going out of town until the 11th or 12th. We will be leaving tommorow (sun). I would be happy to enlighten you with my wisdom (what little that is).Just remember everything is negotiable even the dealer prep. Biggest thing is going out on the net and finding the best price and trying to get local dealer to beat it. Anyway if I can help I will. Send me a pm with info to contact you and I will give you a call when I get back. Rick & Sandi (TIN CAN TOURISTS)
