Great Deal on a Bambi Order

[DreamStream]

Having trouble finding a dealer willing to make a great deal on a new Bambi order. One dealer who advertises quite a bit on the internet quoted his best deal on a new order is a 7% discount from MSRP. The dealer at the Tampa RV show said he could not do any better than a 14% discount. My local dealer will order a new one for a 15.75% discount. I was hoping to get at least a 20% discount.

Anyone got a great deal on a new Bambi lately? Who? Where? How much?

Thanks.

I think 20% is at the high end of the scale. 15% is not bad, but 7 is a joke.

I would call Paul Sherry RV in Ohio. They are about 25 miles or less from the factory, but it is a hike from Florida.

Supply and Demand.

Until the factory catches up with the (assumed) backlog, I doubt if any dealer would have an incentive to cut too deeply.

Airstreams (both new and vintage) have been getting a lot of publicity lately.

I was picking up our Safari 28W (story coming soon) and somebody else was picking up a Safari 25B. He traded in a 2004 bambi for it. The Bambi looked perfect -- but they guy had two dogs that camped with him...so I dunno what the inside might be like...the dogs were with him during his process.

You might want to call them up to inquire about it...

I just got 16% off on a unit on order. That is from Toscano RV in Los Banos, CA. They sell more than anybody (#1 in AS sales) Currently, they have sold out most of their stock which is usually sizable. I did not see any Bambies.

We just got about 17% off on a 16CCD here in New Mexico. They had just gotten it in a
few day before. We were really happy with them - straight forward and no games on
pricing.

We spoke with a dealer in Mesa AZ who was talking about a 'couple of thousand off.'
The folks at Sutton up in Oregon said they had 2 on the lot and 1 on the way - and they
seemed negotiable - but we went with the deal here close to home.

Here a link to a new AS dealer in GA. Don't know anything about them. Just passing the info along, if you want to check it out.

Hey PodPeople!
Congrats! Now we are four 16CCDs! Excellent!
When do you take her home?

I hate to recommend them - but check with Bates RV in Dover. I got 20% off an on-the-lot Safari last year.

Go to an RV show. They ususally deal a bit better at the shows.

Also FWIW, the Bambi is either the number 1 or number 2 purchased coach. When we were at the factory, they had far more Bambis on the line than any of the others. Most or about half were CCD Bambis.

I forgot to mention that Holiday (in New Mexico) has a 2004 19' safari Bambi on the lot.
It has the Amarillo package.

We picked up our 16CCD yesterday (1/30) and were really happy with the professional service
and friendly attitude.
