RV Buyers Guide: Buying an RV
As you are considering purchasing an RV, the question that is likely on your mind is whether to buy a new one or a used one. Before making this decision, it’s important to understand both sides of the debate and what they mean for you. Jayco Dealers will compare and contrast both types of RVs so that you can make an informed decision about which type best suits your needs.
At a traditional dealership, you would likely have to pay the full price of an RV out-of-pocket. One advantage of this is that if something goes wrong with your new purchase within six months or one year (depending on where you buy it), you can return it and receive either a refund or, at least in some states, extended warranty coverage for repairs. With used RVs, there are often no warranties so potential buyers need to be careful when they’re buying from private sellers…
When you purchase a new RV, the dealer will typically finance it for you which can help to lower your monthly payments. The downside is that if the loan goes into default and they repossess its contents then there’s no way of getting them back unless you get another loan from somewhere else. This also increases your risk in general because with used RVs, the seller owns any issues until after six months or one year depending on where you buy it but when buying a new RV, as mentioned above, dealers often offer extended warranty coverage…
A major advantage of purchasing a used RV is that prices are much less expensive than those offered by traditional dealerships. When buying an older model though, consumers need to make sure they have sufficient funds to cover any major repairs that the previous owner may have let slip by. With a new RV, consumers can rest assured knowing that Jayco’s nationwide network of expert service centers and dealerships will provide them with full coverage…
In summary, there are both advantages and disadvantages when considering whether to buy a new or used RV but it all depends on what your needs are. If you need something temporary or don’t plan on using your RV very much then buying an older model could be perfect for you because these types of RVs come at significantly lower prices than those offered by traditional dealerships; however, if you’re looking for something more long-term then purchasing from a dealership comes with some definite perks like extended warranty coverage as well as financing.
