So lots of variables in play but here is my story for reference. In July of 2017 we bought our first motorhome, a Forest River Georgetown gasser. It was marked as a 2018 model and bought it the first day the dealer had discounted from msrp of $130,000 to purchase price of $99,500. Used it for two months and decided we wanted a diesel pusher, 5' longer. Settled in on a Thor Venetien dp as our target. Found a new 2017 Venetian at a dealer that also was a Forest River dealer and carried the Georgetowns. I was able to hammer home a $95,000 trade against a purchase price on the Venetian that was discounted almost $100,000 off msrp. The dealer got rid of his 2017 Venetian and they were able to put the 2018 on their lot and sell alongside true new 2018s (given that it had 2000 additional miles on it). All in all, this was a win for us as we truly have what we want now for what was arguably a loss of around $5000. Would have been a different story if we had either wanted a 2018 model year replacement or had waited till Spring.
