dealer throw in items

[robm]

Although buying a camper for show price (which has been lowest I could find) makes me think this is about the price we will have to give. Would you then concentrate on other throw in items like a surge protector or other stuff? How much extra throw in gear were you able to get? Did you get it included, at cost and financed with the unit?

Some dealers have a package of extras they include at the show. Beyond that, the WDH is the most common item for a throw-in. Beyond that, you try for specific items, or just ask for XX $'s of store credit to buy what you want at the dealer's store.


Shows are a good time to find deals, but the "show price" isn't usually the absolute lowest price. Typically they leave some room for trade-ins, so if you have a clean deal, you should be able to get a lower price.


And if you negotiate a little and then walk away "to think about it" my experience has been that dealers are very aggressive in after-show follow-up. If they fill out a sales lead sheet and have your number, you'll get a call after the show. On one unit we considered, the salesman called 2 days after the show and the first thing he said was they would drop the price another $1,500 from what had been their absolute lowest price 2 days earlier at the show.
