At his store, Auel said shoppers will find manufacturer rebates, package deals, and hundreds of dollars off scratch-and-dent models that consumers can take advantage of for big savings.<\/p>\n

“You’re really only going to see 40-60% off during a big sale moment, like a three-day weekend,” Bodge said.<\/p>\n
