Try buying an new motor home this year and selling it 2021. They drop like a rock.

I was told and read somewhere that depreciation only happens at the end of each year of ownership and is tied to some government index. I'll try to find it.
Sitting is not good for any vehicle, things don't get lubricated, and I'm not just taking about the engine. A/C for example, the refrigerant IS the lube so if it's not run periodically, o rings and seals tend to fail/dry out/crack. If it's me, I'm not budging to pay anywhere near what they're asking and I'm getting an extended warranty tossed into the deal to CYA.
Maybe for the purposes of corporate financial disclosure and reporting, IRS regulation, etc. but guarantee if you sign to buy and walk over the sales guy at the next desk over and ask to trade in, you will see at least 20% less than you laid3, probably more like 25-30% less without ever leaving the lot.
Does it have any miles on this 2018? Dealers use vehicles as demos (having owner or owner’s family drive it as personal vehicles without ever registering it), which makes them legally “new” despite the thousands of miles clocked.Hey Guys,
My local dealer has a 2018 raptor still on the lot. It is still new never sold. I have been trying to negotiate with them as I kind of prefer the full leather interior of the 2018's. Has anyone encountered this before with a Raptor on the lot thats 2 model years old (soon to be 3)? What would you expect to pay below sticker on one? They are offering me 3K below sticker. There are 2019's in my area being offered for 6k below sticker. I thought this would be a good negotiating point to get a great deal on a new raptor but they wont budge below the 3K mark. What do you guys think?
Thanks Guys!
