[QUOTE="JEEPKEVIN, post: 704268, member: 13136"] Just an update. Trying to buy an RV is a major headache. Salesman don't know there product, and local lots are filled with program vehicles. These are X rentals that are 1 year old with 12,000 miles or so. They carry no warranty, have some wear and tear, and dealers discount the units just enough to make you think about purchasing. By the time you add a third party warranty the price difference has you second guessing your self. Buying a new car, you seem to have to hide from the sales guys, everyone follows you. In RV land, these guys don't seem to care. No greeting when you walk in, vehicles are locked, can't just browse, act of congress to get someone to help. Here in Dallas we have McClains and Camping World. Kind of a monopoly on several brands that we are interested in. The 3rd party warranty companies want a check out inspection to verify all systems are good. I get that. They want you to use a major dealer for this. I get that. Dealers say if you don't buy from them, they don't offer service. Too busy with their loyal customers. Makes it really difficult to buy from an individual, nobody wants to help. And my favorite, the fees!! McClains sales guy told me they charge you to do a walk through after the purchase to go over systems and operation. New or used. After you spend $65k, they offer no support to you. I'm not stupid, I can push all the buttons and make stuff happen but just the same, I am new to this. When you buy a new car, they at least give you the nickle tour. Sorry, I'm just grumpy with how things are going. Wife and I gonna spend another Saturday hitting up some other dealers. Oh, the original idea of $30-$40k, not really gonna happen. Took us about a week to realize that if you want something nice, you have to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
