Ok so here's a little update. the dealer called me and came back with $22,400. with my trade. witch I owe $8000 on. (2008 starcraft 21sso hybrid) and $5000 down. I told him I wasnt too comfortable with that deal and he needed to do a little better. I need a payment of $ 225 a month to feel ok with the deal. he said that was the best he could do so I told him sorry that we couldnt do busness together and that was the end of the conversation. I have seen these trailers on rv trader going for $ 18492- 22500 so I think I did the right thing and Im gonna look elseware for it . even if i drive 700-1000 miles to pick up I think it would be a better deal. so what are you guys thoughts?
"$22,400. with my trade.".................... that sounds like they don't want to give you anything for your trade.
IMO.... you would do far better to sell your current trailer and pay it off. If you have any $ left, offer that as your down payment.
Looks to me like low retail is around $12.5K.... even the "Base price" is $10.4K........
The dealer wants to give you what you owe, clean the trailer up and sell it for (probably) $13K-$14K plus make a tidy profit on the new trailer.
My point is, sell it yourself for $12.5K and walk into the dealer with $4K cash for a down payment on the new trailer and I'll bet that you get a whole new deal....... if not, go somewhere else with cash in hand.
