2006 Laredo 25RK Opinions

I've been looking for a fiver for several months now and want to know what you experts think. The owner said that he bought it new. It's a 2006 Laredo 25RK in good shape and has been stored under roof except when in use. I believe that claim because the outside looks really good except the front decals are faded some where the front of the storage unit is open. The top isn't completely clean but I can still see some white. There is no delamination on any of the outside and the frame doesn't have any rust on it.

The inside looks really good even though I wish it were oak and they took the couch out and replaced it with a recliner and a nice rocker that doesn't have rails but sits still and has springs in it. I'll probably want to get another couch to put in it. I couldn't find any evidence of any leaks on the inside.

The only real negative is that the tires are original and even though they look good and have almost new tread I'm sure they need to be replaced because of the age.

He wanted $9,000 for it but said he would take $8,000 for it. That price may be somewhat high but is it worth it for a camper that has seen very little use and stored under roof?

Thanks
  • Couple more. I you think it's not worth it let me know.

    Thanks

  • Yes, it needs tires asap! If you deduct the cost of tires, and buying a couch, from the 8K, you just need to make an offer. If you want it, make a reasonable offer. You can always up your offer, but not lower it. Most owners will offer to split the difference.

    It is hard to tell, even with good pics, on actual condition. It sounds like you checked it over pretty good.

  • Here are a few pictures (if I did it right) and we won't be using it very hard. We plan on a trip to Alaska in the next couple years but mainly short trips less than 200 miles.
