About to buy a 179 - Event Date: 30 Oct 2014 - 01 Dec 2014

If I may jump in here:  We bought our 171 from Couch's on 9/30 and .. nope.  At least not in our case. Maybe I'm not the best negotiator but my impression was/is that they know their price beats the pants off just about everyone else so they really don't need to sweeten their deal. And they do a pretty high level of volume so, if you don't buy, someone else will.  Nevertheless, they were pleasant enough to deal with and their follow-up has been good, too.  We found a damaged burner grate a few weeks after the sale, sent them some pix, and they replaced it right away.

Biggest recommendation I can make: if you're driving any real distance to pick up your pod, plan on overnighting there at their lot so you can play with everything.  (They provided us with water & electricity.)  We found a bad entertainment center, bad connector board to the television and a water leak at the city water port.  Their techs fixed everything first thing next morning.  I would not have enjoyed discovering these things after getting back to TX.
