Dutchstar 2018 15% off msrp, shouldn't be more?

Hello
We looked at a 2018 Dutchstar 4369 at Northtrail in Ft Myers and they would only take 15% off msrp. I was under the impression it should be around 25% When we bought our current coach, we got 30% off.
Is it a super hot market or am I missing something?

Try the fine folks at NIRVC and see what you can work up with them. I suspect they'll be willing to work with you.

There is a lot of 2018 inventory out there. Now is a great time to get a great deal. Shoot for 30% off at this time of the year and go wherever it takes. Not sure if you’re ordering or looking for something on the lots. The 2019 info is about to pop in a month or so.

Thanks for the info. Regarding inventory, we were wanting a 4018 and they only had one. They had several 4369s.

Search nationwide. In my opinion the dealer you buy it from means nothing. Get the best deal and make a great trip from dealer back home. Once purchased you can deal with Newmar directly for the absolute best service ever. I despise my local dealer and avoid them at all costs! Great salesman, oh how things change after the sale when it comes to the service side.

X2 my friend I haven’t spoken to my salesman since I left the lot ....and when I did call concerning an issue all they did was relay my call to NCS.. Next time I’ll do my due dilliegence and not just settle with one dealer and look for the best deal..Sucks being a newby but I have learned me lesson...

Run fast! North Trail is known to try to get every dollar out of you, especially this time of year with all snowbirds down. I’d look elsewhere, get pricing, and you could always come back to them with a final offer and see what they say. We gave them a shot when we ordered new and originally they were $45,000 more than others then continually kept getting closer as they realized we were serious with another dealer. They eventually got to around 30% off but by then we had decided on using our local highly rated dealer (Independence) for about same price as they were up front with no sales tactics & haggling.

While we’re in mid process, I agree with shopping around. We solicited multiple dealers for a factory pick up. Ended up going with RV One and a 28.4% discount applied to all options including the factory pickup. Salesman was easy to deal with—all by phone and email. We will pick up in April and will not meet the salesman personally. Our local RV dealership was by far the least competitive. Best of luck in your purchase!

The selling dealer's price is all the matters if you order a Newmar and pick it up at the factory.

Bring and extra $40K with you because Lambright for seating and seat back height will refine your new RV. Brad and Hall or Amish shops can make cabinet improvements. A block or two West on US 6 was a sign for solar systems, I met the guy in 2010 when he was a laid off by the RV depression and began a solar business. He introduced my my brother and I to several of his Amish friends who had nice shops in their garage/barn who could do quality custom work on RVs. Precision in Breman can put a custom solar rack and panels on your new RV or custom paint your trailer to match your new Newmar RV.

Visit Spartan or Freightliner for new owner factory service and classes. Then back to Newmar for any things to fix. Visit NE Canada or Florida for a season, back to Newmar for service. Then home; if you have had the RV over a year and and out of Calif you may avoid the Calif sales tax it you comply with the current DMV regs, whatever they may be then...

Craig check with the folks at Independence RV. I just looked at rvtrader.com and they seem to have a number of 4018's.

This is not a good deal, and to pay this much with 2019 coming soon you will be behind the 8ball pretty far in my opinion.
