Reader’s Question:
At present, I am shopping around for a mobile home. I was able to find several options here in Alabama with different price quotes of course. I have to put everything on a budget so I need all the advice I can get and I know that there would be extra charges. So with that, how can I get the exact quote?

It is pretty hard in today’s market to get an exact price for a mobile home because of the options added to it. Most manufacturers let you to upgrade almost anything in the home from the windows to floors, walls, cabinets, as well as appliances. It is easy to a price range, but the ranges could be very broad. Most homes that are available at a sales center in Alabama may have many options installed already, which change the price. If different dealers have the same model home, but the prices are not the same or not even close, it could be because of the options that are installed. When shopping around, it’s important to know what options you want so you can accurately compare prices.
Get the price of the home with all of the different options you want in writing for you to be sure that you are not charged extra. Also, don’t forget that setup and delivery of a home are not always included in the price and can cost extra. Have your salesperson calculate the fees for setup and delivery and have it included into the price before giving you a quote. These fees usually depend upon the geographical location. Make sure all of the costs are put into writing and go over all of the details before you make a commitment.
