John Welte Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 8 hours ago, Steph and Dud B said: So, here we go with "MSRP," "sale price," etc. One of the things I liked about our purchase experience was the fixed/no haggle price. I'd be interested to know which of those two prices matched the factory price for that trailer, if either. They can't have the factory charging less than the dealers and undercutting them. OTOH, I can't see the dealer charging less than the factory and still making an acceptable profit margin. Very good point. It would be interesting to see the pricing structure. Obviously a person would expect to pay less at Hohenwald. A couple thousand more to avoid a 4-5000 mile round trip would be worth paying a bit more. For us in Oregon, that makes sense. I can't see paying more to a dealer in Alabama or Georgia though. John John and Debbie, Beaverton, Oregon, 2017 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 3.5 liter Ecoboost, with heavy duty tow package.

Moderators topgun2 Posted January 24 Moderators Share Posted January 24 I've been told that it is Oliver's intent that it will not matter as to the location that you chose to purchase your new Oliver or even to have that new Oliver delivered. In each case the price will be the same. Only time can tell how successful they will be and/or how close they will be able to get in fulfilling that intent.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted January 25 Moderators Share Posted January 25 Truth is, we humans generally find extreme discomfort in change. Big or small, change is a challenge. Let's give the new plan time to grow, and mature. Oliver is no longer the fledgling company we took a big fly on in early 2008. The family management is smart, careful, and I'm sure they've thought this process through, very carefully. I'm rooting for them, and all of us future and current owners who can benefit. 1 4 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

Moderators topgun2 Posted January 25 Moderators Share Posted January 25 14 hours ago, Jason Foster said: I wonder if they will take trade ins now. The operative word in the above is "they". If you mean Oliver then the current answer is - NO. There is no change to Oliver's long standing policy regarding used Olivers. If you mean Oliver dealers" then I believe that the answer is - YES. These are independent dealers and if they currently deal in used RV's the I'd suspect that they will deal in used Olivers. And, if this is the case, that just might be another "benefit" to this new program for all of the current owners. This is particularly so for those that find themselves in a situation where they might have to get rid of their Oliver in a hurry and/or those that really have no knowledge of an Oliver but for a number of various reasons find themselves in charge of selling or disposing of the Oliver from an Estate or medical issues or ....

ChrisMI Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Quality trade ins would be a huge benefit. Oliver trailers are made to last a long time and could provide an amazingly healthy second hand market.

dewdev Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The Oliver Elite and Oliver Elite II trailers are being shown at the Boston RV Camping show, for the first time, this weekend at the Boston Convention Center.
