RV Trader Listings

Rather than using NADA search what other's are asking for with the same coach. If you narrow the search parameters on RV Trader there are currently 17 2013 Daybreak 32H models listed for sale with a price range from $85,900 to $53,995 with an average asking price of $69,608. That's asking price not what the coach may finally sell at which in most cases will be less. Find the add with a coach that matches what the dealer has that is more along the lines of what you're will to pay and see if they will meet the price. I would start at $68,000 and be willing to go as high as maybe $72,000 but sight unseen the price is a very big WAG. For $81K it would have to be one perfect coach. Plus depending on the color pattern the Daybreak came with full body paint so pushing up the used price isn't something I would accept.

Regardless of final price I would include a demand that the sale is contingent on a mechanical inspection, that you will pay for. Unless the new engine was installed by a Ford Commercial Truck Service Center, for that matter even if it was, I would want to know it was performed correctly and no short cuts were taken. And who is the warranty with, the selling dealer or Ford? If the dealer tell them to keep the warranty and drop the price. Won't do you much good 3000 miles from home if the engine blows a second time which would a pretty rare event.

The warranty is from Ford. My feeling is a 2 year warranty on a replacement engine not done by the OEM is not something to boost the price because I think a factory install would be better than a dealership. I heard a story of a guy that had a dealer install a new engine and a wire was not installed properly and rested against a hot exhaust and caught fire. Has anyone heard of a new V-10 destroying itself?
