I'm about ready to go into the dealer tomorrow and purchase a Wilderness TT. I know what trailer I want to purchase. It is marked 20% off MSRP. How much Negotiation should I do off the MSRP.
Just my 2 cents worth. I attempted that negotiation and the wife was not satisfied (to be honest I was not also) - too much stress. I went back to the Internet (as noted previously addressed) and found through RV Trader a dealer in Virginia that listed 30 percent less than MSRP. We live in California. After calling and discussing with the Wife, we elected a $2k investment in going back to review and subsequent driving back with the truck would be well worth a $20K savings. RV outlet USA was great and was everything they said they were. They did no major upgrades, this was as is - but it was exactly what we were interested in. Your call, but consider the Return on Investment when deciding to reach beyond your area to get what you want. Warranty dealers are everywhere - you do not have to go back to the original dealer (which may not be the best - case in point La Mesa RV in San Diego).
Well maybe 3 cents
Here's something to ponder and I have not seen on this thread yet. HL has their MSRP and dealers put up their own. Dealers are normally 25-30% over what HL says it should be. Look in the WIKI and see if there is a HL MSRP for the coach you are looking at. Download it, then build the coach on paper with all the options. That way you know what the dealer is asking over HL's price. Then go even lower than HL's price. Note, there is not a MSRP sticker on any coach like on new cars. Its what the dealer makes up and they are not regulated as to what they can ask for.
Ok, here is the path to the MSRP for Bighorn. Others, if available will be in a similar path for that brand.I am not WIKI savy. I looked around there and even did a search for"MSRP" with no luck. Is it really there? If so, how do you get there?
