Visited the Okeechobee, FL location twice in a 2 day - Nunya
Visited the Okeechobee, FL location twice in a 2 day period. Salesman kept pushing me toward huge expensive RVs even after I explained what I was really looking for. Didn't think much of it. That kind of thing is expected when dealing with salesmen. Kudos to him for trying, I guess. I shrugged it off and looked around until I found a unit I was interested in. Went inside to talk to the salesman. Dude demanded I give him my driver's license before he would tell me the price. Claimed it was so he could get me the "best price." I walked. I'm not going to walk into the "identity pricing" trap. All anyone needs to run a soft pull on your credit rating is your driver's license. He was going to check my scores and see what I qualified for, then drive the price up based on that. Pathetically transparent attempt to screw me over. They know exactly how much that thing costs wholesale. They know exactly how much they can sell it for and still turn a profit. I knew the national range of what it costs at retail before I approached them. I wanted to see where they stood in the lineup. And this guy tried to run a game on me. Adding more to the list: their GM was trying to up-sell me on an extended warranty (most of which are utterly useless rip-off tactics) before I even picked a unit I liked. Same guy also flat out lied to me about Jayco's warranty policy (yes, I checked before I asked him, and he outright LIED). Never thought I would see Camping World tactics in a small time outfit like this. Guess I was wrong. I'll never do business with this company, nor will I ever recommend them to anyone. Word to the wise business owner: there is this thing called THE INTERNET. It's full of information. Smart buyers know the answers to their questions before they set foot on your lot. We know your tricks. We know the price ranges. We know the policies. Learn to spot the smart ones, treat them HONESTLY, and you might make a big sale. Or keep pretending we still live in the 80s and continue to lose money. Your choice, guys.
