I'd do that too if the dealer was in-state. When buying out-of-state, the dealer doesn't collect my state's taxes. I have to settle up with my DMV to get in-state temp tags as the out-of-state temp tags aren't recognized a week after I get home.
When the dealer did try to add on a documentation fee, I made them net it out of the purchase price so the out-the-door price didn't change. That's probably what your dealer tried to do too. Next time I buy from a dealer, I'm going to have a copy of the sales contract with their signatures before I leave home.Last edited by Luv2Ski; 07-23-2019 at 02:33 AM.

Update
Update: negotiations were done without having the down deposit and final price was good enough for us to buy “locally”. Next week is when we scheduled the PDI and final signing of paper.

That's exactly what worked for us near Houston, Tx. We got several quotes from dealers in writing near the build plants of the 5r we wanted. Finally took it into our dealer and they matched it to within $400 after negotiating with DW. Part of the reason they came down $9 grand from their starting price was at the end of October in 2017, they had not made their Keystone quota yet. We signed the papers on Oct. 31.

Feeling that “not many GD dealers In AB” struggle. We walked away from a large, well known dealership based on customer service. Happy to have purchased a used unit another dealer took on trade in, knowing the dealership we dealt with will be there if needed. You have to feel comfortable with the people taking your business...trust is a thing.

I was toldby 2 dealers that they would not give me an out the door price unless I would give a deposit up front. I walked out on both of them, the next 2 dealers gave me that price without the deposit, so then it was time to hagle over interest and trade in. the one guy had low interest and a higher trade in so I went with him. I never deal with anyone not willing to give me a price.

My favorite line is do you know who is worse than a car salesman? A RV salesman! They all play games to get a bigger commission.

Please consider a different approach to this kind of purchase. Shop it around. Know exactly what model and options you want. Ask several dealers to email you a quote listing all options and their best price. Distance should not matter to you at this point as the warranty work can be done anywhere.
Once the quotes are all in go back to each one of them and tell them to beat the lowest price with the options you want.
Once you are convinced you have the lowest quote no matter the location then ask your local dealer to beat it. Most likely they will and if they don’t then travel to get it

Are you sure? It did when we used it in 2016.
Here's the math for options in 2016 and is probably the same today: Take the MSRP for the particular GD provided option, multiply it by 0.7092 and you'll be within pennies of the invoice price on that option.
From my notes:
Margin as % of MSRP: 29.08%
Markup as % of Dlr Cost: 41.01%Last edited by Luv2Ski; 08-06-2019 at 11:24 PM.

It ended up being an issue on my side. I have an adblocker installed in FireFox, and that somehow didn't let me get past the model selection page. When I tried Chrome, it worked perfectly and I saw all the options!
Thanks for taking the time to reply and for sharing your notes.
