I just bought a 177 for $14,500 in Idaho. I drove 483 miles (round trip) and got a better deal than I could get here in Western Washington. It may pay to drive a little and camp on the way back. Wink

I think we paid about 13.5k last spring for our 178 in Ohio.  I was about 3500-4000 cheaper than CA prices (sac, gilroy) and was actually available.  We had the time and made an adventure out of picking it up.  Even with travel expenses, it was cheaper to buy it there.  Not an HRE, but we added the risers.

I don't quite understand this post..

Are you saying you paid $25,000 for a 182G? Bought in Santa Rosa CA.?

Will be picking it up from under a snowbank/ice pack on the 5th of April.  Feel we got a pretty good deal from the sticker of $22,000 and the dealer was only 3 miles from home.  Did use leverage from a dealer in Illinois to help get the price down. 
 
Looking forward to getting "on the road again"!

I priced our pod in 2011 from that dealer.  They had a pod similar to the one we bought at the Door County store.  I did better in Sheboygan.  When I scraped off the stabilizer jack I tried to get a replacement in the Fox Valley and was treated very poorly.  I hope they were just having a bad day but their parts and service folks drove me away from them.  I hope it is better for folks that buy from them.

I bought a 182g at Santa Rosa RV (California) for $25000. Could have gone a little further haggling but wasn't in the mood.

To clarify, thx furpodSmile

Adding this post to this thread as it's specific to RV Spa of Upland CA:

$16,900 was the best price I could get in Upland CA on a 178 from the excessively up-tight sales lady.

Would not budge an inch on the “price today” despite wanting to also get the R-Dome, batteries, LP Tank, and other randoms that go with a first purchase. 

Upland CA and Temecula RPOD dealers are the same owner, btw.

Found on on RVTrader.com all setup and ready to go for $15,000 - Felt like both sides did well enough on this price.  This statement assumes I could not go pick one up in Texas or NC and hadn't the imagination to think of having it shipped to me.  (Dammit!)

Good Luck.

We got our 171 last fall for just over $12k, fully loaded and with many extras already included (like axle risers).

I am almost sure there have been a couple threads on price paid. We paid right at $13k fully loaded. Friend just signed a contract for a fully loaded '14 model 177 for around $13.6k

Thanks Lefty, that helps. The best advertised price I have seen in Souther California is $17, 500 for a hood river edition.  I am thinking I should be ale to get them to come down some or maybe wait for the RV show in October for a better deal.
