I think we are getting to the point where we want more room and better towing capability than our '95TK.
We're wanting a 27' MB.
We bought our TK used and while I learned a lot I would rather not go through that again.
But then again we could save a lot rather than buying new I believe.
Anyway...what are some of the advantages to buying new over used and vice versa?
I am thinking new you get a warranty and well...it's new!
Used you save a lot but as I notice there is rarely late models available.
The house is paid so we could take out a refi/cash and have the money ready when a used one becomes available but I have looked and looked these past months and when a good newer one becomes available it usually is sold before I can look into it.
Just buy new?
If we buy new what are some "must have" options? Solar definitely I think.
Any opinions?
"...what are some of the advantages to buying new over used and vice versa?"
Guaranteed no bedbugs? ;D
Kidding of course.
Yes, solar would be a very good choice... but you may want to wait and do it after market. There are several advantages to that, many of which have been discussed on this board. I ordered one panel, soon wished I had two, now have three, but in the interim everything had to be rearranged for a more efficient system. ::)

The price list mentions the one panel system as stock with the option of adding another one.
I am just wondering if Lazy daze would even forgo solar since they are pretty set on what they sell? And would they reduce the price?
Were I in your shoes, my strategy would be to get on the waiting list AND shop for a very lightly used LazyDaze. As I understand things, you can then decide if/when a used candidate becomes available.

Is the $4,000 deposit on a new one refundable?
Well Ted; No deposit required until they come up with a chassis for you, so being on the list won't cost you until then. The deposit isn't refundable. If you want a particular floor plan, want to pick outside and inside color, and options then you should buy new. Depends on how picky you are. I just missed by a day, the gray MB that popped up in Beaumont, near me, just a month ago. Someone got a great deal. I, like you, have an older TK, thinking of going just 3 feet longer to a newer MB.

You are just down the road from us. We're in Leucadia.
Do you think the factory will ever update the prices on their website? ???

That is a good question. I guess I will need to call them?

I called them and took your advice and got on the list.
Todd said about 6 months until a confirmation call and then another 6 mos or so to build it.

Congrats! Did you ask them to update their website? ;D

Come on they updated it already a few years ago. How many times do they have to........
<smile>
I'm thinking they will update it when they change the body style, paint or do a major update of some sort.
Congrats! Did you ask them to update their website? ;D
He said "soon".
;) "Soon" in Lazy Daze land is subject to a broad range of timing possibilities! I would just add 2-3 thousand to the 2017 base price listings; if that turns out to be a high figure, great. If not, one is prepared for the boost. (And, I'd sure investigate the costs and the quality/technology of any factory-added options compared to aftermarket product selection and installation.)
As ever, YMMV.

Base price for a new 27 MB is now $100,250.
Well, I better not buy a lottery ticket; I underestimated the base price increase by a good bit, eh? Thanks for posting that figure!
Pays to shop early. With knowingly little difference between the ‘15 and the ‘19 (six speed tranny aside), we’re up nearly $8,000 on our RB (depreciation notwithstanding).
Time to go Christmas shopping with all the cash we’ve saved.
Ho, Ho, Ho 🎅🏻

I wish I could find a lightly used later model 27' MB.
It seems peiple hang on to them. Can't blame them.

And add 10% for tax and license.
LDs cost what they cost, and the purchase price is just the *initial* outlay. 😉 With an RV and the associated life and travel styles, one will never lack opportunities to spend money. However, with an LD, the expenditures are more likely to involve add-ons, upgrades, and “fun stuff”, not cash bleed on re-building, repairing, and replacing “warts” on a new rig!
YMMV, as ever.

Must be those tariffs?
