Time to make a deal

Gerry and I went back to the sales lot at Lazydays RV to look at a couple units once again.  We finally decided to see what kind of a deal we could get from LazyDays and talked more to a salesman.  I put that event right up there with getting two root canals in a day, but it was necessary to see if we were even in the ballpark with our offer on a 2012, 37ft Winnebago Adventurer.  After much haggling, discussing, explaining, etc, we wound up getting an counter offer from him.  Not even close and he wasn't budging off his original offer.  He indicated that maybe a $1K drop in price was possible, but that was it.

We did part friends and went on our way.  Gerry wanted to look at the used 2008 Allegro Bus that we had checked the day before, so we went back there on our own and spent about 45 minutes going through it.  There are a lot of great features on the bus and it looked in pristine condition, so we decided to see what kind of deal we could get on it.  We aren't optimistic on us agreeing to a price with them, but it doesn't hurt to make an offer.  One concern of mine with the bus is that it is all electric.  No propane at all in the bus.  It does have heat pumps and an electric fireplace so that should suffice in most weather.  (  Note.....  We don't intend to be in cold places in the winter. ) 

I got on the internet and checked what a 40ft Allegro Bus was selling for and the prices ranged over a $40K difference.  If LazyDays hold firm to their asking price, then we will be out of here on Monday morning.  If not, then maybe we can get together on an agreeable price.  In any case, it will be back to the root canal negotiations with the salesman.

There is a tropical storm churning off the coast of Florida and since New Smyrna Beach, FL is our next planned stop, we will stay here another day at least.  No sense driving into  heavy downpours of rain and sitting in the motorhome all day.  We've seen more rain the last couple weeks than we have in the previous 5 months.
