| Any idea on how much room a dealer has to work on the bottom line price on a new unit? Is it like buying a new van, always lower than sticker? Thanks. |

they won't usually move too much on price,it's actually not really up to the distributor because I don't think they really make all that much on the sale of a TM
it's up to the manufacturer
you CAN usually get them to throw in extra stuff for no charge.....(reels,hoses etc.) ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

From a distributor point you are absolutely right. We do not make sufficient % of profit on Truckmounts to allow any significant discounts. Most newbs who purchase a truckmount usually through their excitement of the new sale screw up and do expensive damage right out of the starting gate feeling it should be covered under warranty. We generally need a buffer for these unforseen situations. Truckmounts need tender loving care or expect down the road some non-warranty expenses. I use to rent out a truckmount. It always came back with double the cost as what I charged to rent due to damage. Good advice is don't ever rent out your truckmount. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |
