Been looking to buy a motorhome for a few months now. Every time a decent one comes on to the second hand market they seem to sell before I can view. Am now thinking about buying new. What sort of discount should I expect from a dealer on the asking price on a cash sale, no part exchange deal.

Thanks, Ian.   

Depends on the model and whether you are ordering a special delivery or buying a new one off the forecourt which would give you more leverage.

There are some models which don't appear to have any movement as they are in short supply,

York Motorhome show is in about 6 weeks and would give you a good chance to look and perhaps talk to owners around the camping area.

Also depends how far you want to travel to buy your motorhome, we live in Manchester and bought from Cheltenham as they were the dealer we wanted to buy from after visiting many all over the country.

Also the initial price is another consideration as there will be less movement in the new ones around the £25000 mark as opposed to dearer ones.

Buying one of the old chassis models would also be a bargaining point as there are still some old ones left around.

Look for bargains around on the internet.  Barrons are in the North East and had some "run out" models last time we looked.  One year at York we found a Pilote discounted by £6000 so research is a big part of your purchase.
