50% less from what you paid
Just for fun I called a big dealer and ask him to give me what he would give for my 4 year old Winnebago Sightseer . It was 1/2 of what I payed for it. Does it ever stop going down or level off.

Thanks for all the help I just wonder if some one would buy a stick and brick house for 100,000 and know when they are buying it that in 4 years it would only be worth 50,000 dollars. Would they still buy it . I knew it would go down in what it was worth and we ordered it and are not going to sell it any time soon. It was just a shock and awe moment. The internet sites say it should go for a low of 69,000 and a high of 89,000 for full body paint . I guess the dealer want to make a killing on people that are forced to sell it at any cost which is sad. I wonder how many little old ladys when there husband dies and have to sell and these dealers take them to the cleaners.
Odd you should say that. We were looking on a lot for a Class A. They had new and they had a few consignments. One we considered was a 1 year old Bounder. We got past the rubber roof (we want fiberglass) and was talking to the salesperson. He had no personal knowledge of the unit we were looking at, but he said..."we can work with the owner and try to negotiate something for you, but sometimes these are really tough because we get a lot of these big coaches that are 1-2 years old and the widow will bring them in to consign because their husband died and they either can't, or don't want, to continue RV'ing.
I just would feel too dirty hagglin down some widow on a unit and then have the dealer take his percentage too.
