Borregoman,
Heres how I see this...
#1...If your buying a current year model (08 in 08) you can get at least 27% off MSRP, nice thing about Fleetwood is they post MSRP on there web site.
#2...New or not a 07 is two calander years old and 3 year models old cause the 09 are on the market,
#3...Calculate 27% off of MSRP then take into acount at least two or maybe
2 1/2 years of deprecation, this number will give you a reasonable idea of the market value of this coach, I know this unit is new, probably under 1000 miles however there is still 2 1/2 years of deprecation to account for.
Once you come up with a number ask your self two questions,
A...What is the sale price to market value ratio ??
B...How much, if at all will I be upside-down ?
C...Is this acceptable to me ??

Although we haven't owned a Fleetwood product we have purchased two units that were sitting on a lot for more than 18 months. A suggestion for you if you decide to make this deal, get it in writing that the roof caulk/sealant will be examined/redone. Also consider getting the oil in the generator changed out with a new filter. Can't think of all the other things we had done the second time but we learned from the first time that the roof caulk had cracked while it sat idle on the lot for such a long time. The second time around, we looked at the owners manual to see all the things that the manufacturer recommended be checked on an annual basis and had the dealer take care of those things before we took delivery.

Granted the unit is new and still has a full warranty but it was a lot less trouble to have things done before we picked it up and then having to bring it back in later.
