Dealer says 25-35k for delivery and install! What?!
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2016 12:29 am
I've been shopping dealers in my area and two of them have told me that delivery and install (into a park) will cost between $25,000-35,000 dollars alone on top of the price of the home! I almost fell over when I heard that price. I live in So Cal (Orange County) if that matters and delivery will be local. My question is, does this sound correct? Is it costly because the manufacturer is far away from my county, does that even play a role here? Why so much and is that price negotiable? I was told this would be included as part of my loan so it's not like I'll have to cough up 25k from my pocket but this seems steep! I'll never see that money again! One dealer told me that I could avoid this by considering buying a new home that was already installed but how is that right? A brand new home that has been installed into a park already? Why would a dealer pay the fees to have it delivered and then space rent while it sits in a park unoccupied or UN-sold for that matter. Can anyone help by telling me wether this is accurate or not?
PS if anyone knows a good dealer in so cal, preferably Orange County that would be helpful, thanks
