Of course if NADA says 10K, then that is what NADA says as a guide only. The value of anything that is for sale is "The price that a willing and able buyer is willing to pay to a willing and able seller". Bwyond that the sky is the limit. I have seen fully restored airstreams sell for more than new ones. Your best bet is to let condition be your guide, not the NADA "GUIDE". That is all that folks are trying to tell you. NO ONE means to offend on these boards, but some of the repressed anger that is experienced by folk who have done this for a while sometimes comes out in the posts. Owning a motorhome is always a crap-shoot. S many variables and the learning curve is dramatic, as you well know from previous experience. Always remember your not paying for what is there, your paying for what is left. Drive the back roads of America and you will see lots of vintage motorhomes with leaking roofs and bulging sides, with 10 year old tires sitting in the front yard with a sun-burned sign For Sale in the windows. LIke finding vintage cars the only way you can make a reasonable evaluation is to go look for yourself and then base your offer to buy not on what the asking price is and only on what you are willing to pay. Especially in your position where you have the CASH to finish the deal, you are giving up your strongest weapon when you make offers at long range over the web based on photos. Find one near you that meets your needs and then evaluate it based on YOUR experience, of which you have plenty, to establish a price you would be willing to pay. Then offer what seems like a rediculous offer, way below what is being asked and see what happens. Worst they can say is NO. Might just get a steal because the seller is just tired of looking at whatever it is. CASH in hand talks. BS walks. JMHO.
