Thanks to input from group members we have been able to put together the Buyers FAQ Guide which discusses different models and the discount from MSRP that buyers have reported.
NOTE: ALL BETS WERE OFF IN 2020. But things are improving in 2022 . . .
As I type this in June of 2022 – I am getting reports that dealers are offering 24 -30% off MSRP for new 2022’s on their lots.
This is because they are now getting new 2023’s that have an immediate $13K base price increase due to the new chassis with the 9 speed transmission and other features.
People have reported 23 – 25% discounts for 2023’s.
Due to the increased demand for Class B’s and the scarcity of product the economic realities of the laws of supply and demand have taken over. Starting later in 2020 people were no longer getting 28 – 32 percent discounts from MSRP, but instead people have reported dealers offering only 15 – 20 percent discounts for 2021’s.
Note that in the 2014 and 2015 model years “standard” discounts were in the 20 – 22 percent range. When WGO raised the base price of the Travato $10K with the 2016 models dealers started giving better discounts.
Time will tell how this will change in the future.
While we generally do not discuss Used pricing here, we acknowledge that 2020 has clearly proven to be a Seller’s market with people getting unprecedented returns on used Travatos.
The GUIDE has not been updated to reflect this – waiting to get more data.
NOW ON TO 2021 . . . .
At the end of 2020 and early 2021 dealers were still holding out for smaller discounts for units that they had in stock. HOWEVER, people placing orders for new 2022 models have been reporting discounts between 25 and 28 percent.
