Oliver Pricing - 4 years later

[topgun2]

There are a couple of old sayings concerning discounts:

1.  Always give the person a chance to say "no".

2.  You never know until you ask.

Found these old pricing spec sheets and brochures on the "Way Back Machine" that look to be from just prior to the hiatus. Were any of the "sport" models ever produced?

Yes, but just one or two, as I recall. Oliver went into hiatus not long after its release, and it wasn't revived after production resumed.

I think the owner of one posted here a few years ago. I'll see if I can find it.

Regarding pricing,  I like to compare the number of hours or months of work required to buy something versus the price.  For example in 1978 when I first started working a good wage was over $10k/year.  40 years later it was 60-70k/year.   It seems the number of months required to buy a car is about the same now as then.   Not a scientific study,  just my observation.

I think you mean the Way Way Back Machine.    Tell Mr. Peabody I said Hello.

@OKCamper has a Sport. (And it may be the only one ever made. Not sure.) There was one demo model sold by the factory in 2014. Might be hers?

When we purchased our 2019 Elite II we purchased a "Stripper Model", well as stripped as a base would come at that time. With three options, confection oven, outside LP connections, and a bike rack, our price $55,400. We got the standard interior, all white counter tops, standard seat covers and flooring (our color choice, 5-6 different ones to choose from), hey that all white interior is classy. We did not get any electronic upgrades and did not opt for the solar/battery upgrades either, one because we had no intention to "Boondock", and electronic change so fast that what was offered at that time would probably be out of date in a few years. With an iPhone with "Hot Spot" it will work well for us and it does. All being said, I think many over think there Oliver purchase just because it's only money and other do so I will too. Once again an Oliver comes will all the wiring in the factory wiring harness and any addons, or upgrades can be done to an Oliver with the latest and greatest upgrades offered at that time, so selling a "Stripper Model" is really not an out of date model to a prospective buyer to your used trailer, ie., does not effect your used price at all. I will admit, we did Boondock at Walmart twice in our travels and we survived well without all that added expense.
