RV Shoppers Use Online Resources to Negotiate Best Price

According to a recent J.D. Powers & Associates survey, price negotiation is the part of the vehicle-buying experience shoppers find most frustrating and least satisfying. Traditionally, the power in price negotiations has rested with the vehicle seller; but online resources are giving RV shoppers greater power when they negotiate the purchase of new and used RVs.

Using helpful information found on online RV classified ad sites, consumer reports, and NADA price guides, RV shoppers are arming themselves with better price intel before beginning negotiations with private RV sellers and RV dealers. According to J.D. Powers, last year nearly 80% of vehicle shoppers researched purchase options and prices online before making their purchase. That online research is paying off. Armed with better price information, RV buyers are driving harder bargains and negotiating better purchase prices.

A valuable price-negotiation tool, RVT.com Price Checker allows RV shoppers to instantly obtain the NADA retail book value of any RV. That’s a very handy figure to know and a good starting point for RV price negotiations, but RVT Price Checker also offers a comparative RV listing feature that RV buyers are finding even more valuable. Using search criteria, RVT Price Checker pulls up all similar RV listings on RVT.com, allowing RV buyers to instantly compare features and prices of RVs currently listed on RVT.com and negotiate the best price for their new RV.
