R Pod 172

Don't be surprised at the variation, Susan, there are a couple of dealers in the east/Midwest that discount heavily. If you got an HRE, made in Oregon, it still has to travel further t you in socal than it would to a person in MN or Ky from the big dealer in Indiana. Variables also include the % of sales tax and other licensing fees.
In any case, this should be an interesting thread!!

Welcome to the Podding life!!

Welcome!  I can only tell you what I paid almost 2 years ago for my 171.  $12020 plus a $50 "processing fee" which I'm sure I could have talked down.  

I just paid 12,795 for a loaded up 176 last Friday.  Only missing options on ours were the bike rack and axle risers, it's got everything else.  But I had to drive 1200 miles (round trip) to get that price.  Also, (I just realized I missed one part) that was before taxes, but including fee's.  Add another 800 or so for sales tax in my case, which I haven't paid yet.  I just got my title yesterday, so now I've got to make a trip to the DMV.

I wouldn't sweat it if someone paid less than you though, such is life.  If you put in an offer on it, then obviously you thought that was a good price you were willing to pay for something you wanted.  Just because someone else may have gotten it for less doesn't change the fact that you felt the deal was fair. 

As long as you are within a reasonable amount of what most folks are paying, I'd call it good and forget about it.  You won't even think about what you paid for it in a year anyway after you've been using it.

That might not be as bad as you think. You can probably add at least 1k over my price for shipping, maybe more. Either way, it wont matter 6 months from now...you'll have forgotten all about it. Enjoy your new camper!

Hey,  just be glad you did not buy it in Canada. We paid 18,950 BEFORE taxes this spring. I've heard the price has gone up and that is with our dollar being worth more than yours.
