Fixing up fiver to trade for new
I wonder how many others have walked this path. We got the bug for a new fiver recently. Made the mistake of looking at some of the new spacious floor plans with opposing slides, which are lighter...

Dealers don't care about the condition much. I've gotten some quotes on trade-ins online. The prices they offer are so low vs the crazy high price they want for the new ones isn't worth it. One offered me way more than I paid for mine new...then had their new one priced at full list. When I ran the numbers vs another dealer that discounted theirs 35% like many will. They were really showing me about $14,000 less than wholesale for trade. Good deal?..in your dreams. I'd love a new one, but I'm not giving mine away. Tried to sell it on my own. That didn't work either. Not much of a market for a good quality 5 year old fiver that's priced the same as a super low buck starter model model with a 20 year finance term and lots of cheap frills. I'll just keep it.

You hit the nail on the head. And mine is 10 years old.
I think I can nurse this one for another 10.
