   Hi all,

We live in Tampa, and are about to purchase a 2013 176T with all upgrades. I just want to make sure we're getting a good price at 18,500 + tax, tag and towing equipment for a total of around $21,000. Is this a good price? Also, we want to buy from Lazy Days since they are local if we ever need repairs etc so we are having it built, which takes approx 8 wks. We haven't actually seen one in person. Are there any follow 176T owners in Tampa that would let us take a peak? :-)

Thank you!
Steve & Nicole & Family

	Welcome. That seems like a high price to me. Hopefully others here that have purchased a 176T can chime in with what they paid. I paid a little over $12,000 for our 171 a few years ago - prices have held fairly flat since then.

	That's a way smaller model. This one has a built in entertainment center , bunk beds, a slide to increase kitchen size. And we also added all the extras...CD/DVD/radio, bike rack etc etc. It appears the price of the 171 is still in the 12k range. I'm pretty sure this is a good price, but was just hoping someone might actually have the exact model and share with us :-)

	You are getting screwed! Check with some of the on-line dealers for a much better price. We got ours at Couches in Ohio for about $6,000 less than our local dealer. Ours came with all options including the R-Dome and Pod cover. If you want to use a local dealer, show them what some other dealers will charge and use this to negotiate a better price.

	We have a 2013 176T with everything but the bike rack.We bought ours in Calgary,Alberta and paid a few thousand more than you did.Other dealers in Alberta were even higher by a couple of thousand.For Canada that is a great price,but I don't know what the USA prices are.I would buy local.If any problems arise, it is much easier to have a local dealer.

	Try www.couchsrvnation.com I am not pushing Couchs, it is just where we got ours. There are other dealers who should be able to match their price or come close. With a quote in hand, just visit your local dealer and you should be able to get a better price even if they can not match the on-line quote.
