I'm start to look at a new caravan and have seen some big discounts advertised on the internet. A Swift 570 which is £17800 on the road is available for £15935 on the road. I will be going into my local dealers and asking them for a price. What sort of discount should I be looking at getting off the price of a new van?

Cheers for any advice.

It all depends on the van type, season, stock, availability and popularity of the van, also don'f forget how much one is prepared to haggle. Have a price in mind when going to the dealer and play one off against the other. We bought our van new and got a discount of approx 2.5 k,  however the down side was there was no starter kit included in that discount. With the market being so boyant it may be difficult to get a decent discount, because dealer know that for every one who secures a mega deal there will 3 or 4 that don't.

Happy hunting and don't loose out, be prepared to walk out even on what looks like a mega deal, you might just get a little more off. have a look around the dealership, see how many new vans they have, and how many appear to be sold. It can work both ways, poor sales big deals bigh commisions, good sales, big deals saleman being greedy. still high commisions.

Best of look.
