The Manufactured Housing Forums

I went shopping today and found a home we really liked. It's a Williamsburg by Norris, WM28703A. It's a 28 x 78, 4 BR, w/den. It has taped and textured sheetrock throughout. R-30 insulation in roof, not sure about walls and floor. I didn't get to find out as much as I'd like to, it was hectic. Low E windows. 2x4 marriage walls, 2x6 exterior walls, 10" eaves (I'd rather have 12"). It appeared to be a pretty well built home. The model on the lot is a 2002 and they want to move it out to make room for a newer one. The price was $61,545 which included delivery and setup, heat pump was extra. A 4 ton would run about $2195. They said that they would knock an additional $1500 off if I bought the display. Seems like they should knock off more than that. It's almost 2 years old! They also said that Norris was currently giving a $1000 rebate that I would receive 2-3 weeks after I moved in. So, what do you guys think? The home is located in southwest Virginia.

Generally a good home...price seems good as well...do not delay..you might miss the deal...

Norris is a Clayton owned plant..they were just bought out buy the 2nd richest man in US...at least you will not have to worry about them going out of busness..GO FOR IT

Thanks for the response. Do you think that the $1500 they're knocking off the price is enough? In Randy Eaton's book, he said that he'd like to see a 10% discount. Should I try to get that much of a discount or maybe try to get new carpet and a heat pump instead?
