The price offered will be variable depending on many factors, like supply and demand for your particular model, what the used RV market is like in your area, and of course how much profit the dealer feels they need/want to make on its sale. Depending on the dealer and how well you know them, you might try to work out a total deal massaging numbers for both the new unit and your trade, to see how close you can negotiate to a number that both you and the dealer would be comfortable with. Dealers bottom line will be profit, yours is out of pocket cost, goal is to arrive at a number that both can live with. Do your research, know the facts, and be reasonable. I negotiated for a good month before arriving at a number that was going to work for the dealer and for me. Needless to say after a month of haggling the numbers were different than our starting point, and part of the deal included a significant number of equipment adds to the new motorhome. Keep an open mind, know your facts, be reasonable and negotiate in good faith, while not losing sight of the end goal.
