1984 Ford Honey

I'm looking at buying a 1984 Ford Honey. I don't know much about these. I wonder if you all think it worth the $6000 she wants for it. The listing says, "1984 honey 23 ft motorhome rv. I hate to see it go always been good to me just time for something bigger. Has lots of work done over the years but it was done right not slapped together and painted! Every window or seam is sealed with rv lap sealant the roof was painted with roof sealer so no water leaks.Up frount above the cab was rebuilt from the tin to the paneling with new insulation as the same for the back wall in the bathroom. It has a new refrigerator electric only but all the other appliances work as they should including furnace,and ac will freeze you out. As for the truck all the work was done professionally it has new exhaust manifold gasket, both fuel tanks, water pump,voltage regulator, u joints,rubbor brake hoses frount and rear,steels in good shape,frount and rear wheel bearings serviced with new seals,all brakes have been inspected good with new rear wheel cylinders and hardware,all fluids front to rear changed,tires are only 2 years old." Thank you.
  • That’s an OLD RV. If you want a project, yes. If you want to go camping,..
  • I think the decimal point is in the wrong place! Unless it is showroom condition, a 37 year old rv of any form would probably not be worth that amount unless it is an Airstream and even they have had bad years. I have had sellers try to put value on their memories but I don't care to pay for them. Keep looking.
  • First of all, it’s 37 years old. It sounds like they have done a lot of work and correctly, But you would want to have that verified and that work is not hiding anything more serious, ie water damage in lower parts of the walls and floor.
    You say that you are not familiar with the units, so I would recommend a GOOD RV inspector to completely go over the vehicle. They could possibly advise on the value $$. There still could be more and costly repairs possible in the near future.
