Per this thread - i'm looking into some options for a family motorhome. I have some basic questions..
I created an eye watering spreadsheet for a newer "dream" vehicle. Currently looking at a B-Class ModernComfort I 600. Including all the options I laid out it's currently landing north of £100k
I "reverse engineered" some of the in-stock but brand-new models at https://www.motorhomes.co.uk and the sticker price seems to be pretty much exactly the same as my calculations when building the same spec from the Hymer price list.
Assuming these dealers order in a common spec for those looking for the convenience of being able to drive away right away vs building to their spec. I.e. at least from sticker price i'm not seeing financial savings.
How much room for negotiation is there for a new motorhome like this? Any idea of what an average lead time for a Hymer motorhome build is (Realising COVID19 will make this more challenging), but just trying to roughly map things out.
I've not sold myself on buying new, just weighing the options and only considering it because i'm not seeing the steep depreciation on these that i'd expected.
If there are any Hymer experts out there, I also have some specific questions on a few of the options and what they actually are.
Thanks!
