Interesting to hear their attitude has changed. I can say from experience they didn't used to be so well thought of.
I've tried off and on for over 30 years to buy from them and never could- either I could beat their price by a lot or something- case in point 2 years ago we were shopping for an Aliner and were looking at one there- salesman came out and in mid-sale left to take a phone call inside and never came back! His marked price was discounted some but not near what I found elsewhere, but we never got to the point of negotiating with our salesman disappearing!
Ended up getting one hundreds of miles away for a much lower price and I live 5 miles from John's!
Another time I bought a travel trailer from another local dealer when John's had the same one for hundreds more and wouldn't budge even $10. Oh well.
Fast forward to today- I pick up my new 179 in Greenville today when John's has the same one sitting on their lot- didn't even bother to go there.
