Hello,

The summer is nearly behind us and some of the prettiest days of the year are ahead.  I find fall to be beautiful in this part of the country.

For those looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway now is the time to take advantage of what Ohio and our surrounding states have to offer.   The summer crowds are pretty much gone, the days are warm and breezy and the nights comfortable for sleeping.  It doesn’t get any better.

It’s also a good time to take advantage of some end of the season sales.  We’ve had a good year at Moore’s RV.   Fuel prices really haven’t hurt us.  New and used unit sales have been brisk and service and parts have been busy if not overwhelmed at times.

We do, however, have excellent savings on some left over new units.  This year is particularly important for buyers because the ’09 units arriving are reflecting price increases due to the higher costs of materials – particularly steel and fuel. 

The units we have in stock arrived prior to the price increases so they are an exceptional buy.  If prices continue rising at the rate they have been – next spring a unit will cost 10% more.  The increase may be that dramatic.  The manufacturers are not making any more profit on the units; they are just passing on the increased costs of doing business.

I recently had dinner with the president of one of the manufacturers we represent – Sunny Brook.  He told me that “we’ve cut our profit margins as thin as we responsibly can to help the dealers and consumers and our prices are still moving upward.” 

This isn’t the only CEO that has communicated this to me.  In letters and e-mails the message remains the same:  We’re working hard to keep prices down but rising raw-material costs force us to pass on the increases.

So, for the sharp buyer, now is the time to pick out that new unit.  Your trade-in will never be worth more and the new unit may never be quite as affordable.

Respectfully,

Manuel Santiago
