Locating an Inexpensive Recreational Vehicle

By Gregson Peabody


Have you been out searching for that ideal recreational vehicle for sale? Have you been searching high and low looking for a recreational vehicle for sale that meets your budget and is in a condition that is actually worth driving home? It can be a daunting task. A task that feels like it is an impossible goal. It can feel like it will never be achieved - like finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. As you get closer to the end, it moves further away. It doesn't have to be that hard. There are some tips and hints available to you that will help you find that perfect RV for the cost you desire and the condition you want.

A major problem when it comes to finding a reliable, decent recreational vehicle for sale is to find one that is available that is within your budget. You quickly learn that most of the RV's on dealer's lots are way overpriced. This is done to give the salesperson some bargaining room in case the buyer has a vehicle trade-in or a significant down payment. You will find that if the salesperson needs to meet his quota for the month, or is starving for a sale, that price will quickly drop as the buyer negotiates with them. Simply keep in mind that the sticker price is simply the starting price and that it will go down. How much it goes down depends on the salesperson.

The Skill of Negotiating

When you are ready to go in and negotiate a deal for that recreational vehicle for sale, be prepared to bargain for the features and selling price that you want. If the salesperson is unwilling to budge on the price, see if he will be willing to add on some extra features, or even an extended maintenance contract. There are lots of things a salesperson can do to sweeten the pot. If the recreational vehicle for sale is one that you simply can't live without, be prepared to pay a higher price. On the other hand, if you have the attitude that you can get up and walk out at any time, it will give you the upper hand. In the end, it is all about desperation. How desperate are you to take it home and how desperate is the salesperson to make the sale? The person who is the most desperate is going to lose, and the one that isn't is going to win. Keep that in mind.

When you have negotiated the final price for the recreational vehicle for sale, be on the lookout for added on charges. Things like taxes, title and registration fee can add hundreds of dollars to the final price. And regardless of what the salesperson tells you, these fees are also negotiable. If he is unwilling to budge on the extra fees, get up and walk out of the door. You are not under any obligation until you sign on the bottom line. Until you do, the power to buy or not to buy that recreational vehicle for sale is in your hands.
