We got a price for a bailey caravan from our local dealer. He said that after the nec show Bailey's are putting their prices up. Has anyone heard this?

They always say that, we nearly brought one at the last show in Feb, been pricing them up now ordering from dealer and they are actually cheaper!

I think from memory Bailey normally have a price rise about then each year, so that sounds right to me.

I expect they all will, VAT is due to rise again and the Euro exchange rate is still dire.

Does anyone buy caravans at list price these days?

The real price is the cost to change, not an artificially high price which is discounted or exceptional p/x value but paying list. Negotiate hard and get the best deal, there should be plenty out there - there is a recession on, just remind the dealer and don't listen to his hard-luck stories.

There is a shortage of vans though, in the West country the dealers had sold their 2009 stock by July. We went into a Bailey dealership and the earliest delivery dates were October back in July and that was for 2010 vans.

They told me the same thing this time last year! They are never going to say they have reduced prices.

Last year our dealer told us that it goes up on the 1st sep!! And they did. We could have got a Bailey Ranger 540/6 for £10,000 last July but couldn't buy then. Luckily for us when we could buy this year we saw the GT60 version and got that instead. List price on the road £12,995...

If they increase the price buy another make, this has been a very good year for the caravan trade but next year is'nt looking quite so rosey
