| For Factory Order, you're at the edge...
Since your other thread indicates you are special ordering the trailer from the factory, you are about as close to dealer cost as you're likely to get.. Dealers might drop lower to move a trailer they ordered and have kept in inventory past free flooring period, and are having to pay interest on while it sits and ages.. Most dealers are reluctant to stock the larger trailers, so ordering is becoming more common.
Do remember the dealer has to do pre-delivery inspection and prep work (though some do charge extra for this service...), and resolve a number of issues you find which might or might not be reimbursable from factory, plus potentially have paid tech instead of commissioned sales rep explain how trailer works.. These are all costs out of their spread between dealer cost and your purchase price.. Not trying to justify paying more, but just confirming dealers have costs and need to make profit to remain in business. Many A/S dealers cound on service work to earn profits, as a few $K profit per trailer won't cover costs..
Best advice above is to allow time and opportunity to find bugs or defects before driving off on new adventure, since no dealer will ever be as motivated to make things right as your selling dealer is before you've completed delivery acceptance...
