NADA is just like KBB Need to read the small print.
On KBB everybody thinks theirs is in EXCELLENT shape small print 3% of all the cars on the road fall into that category !
Same with NADA most newer ones something like 2000 and up clearly state "SEE SPECIAL NOTES" , you click on that it, it reads certain models come equipped with AC,furnace, etc etc etc... BUT everybody pulls up their fill in the blank_________ and then builds it with all the options.. Including what is considered standard equipment !!!!
I literally got up from the table in a few used RV lots wadded up their BS build sheets and through it at the garbage cans and said you want to try again?! Most times I just walked .
Funny how tho when your talking of trading in , how yours only books out for $ yet the one on the lot books for $$$..
CL ones I went and looked at several ,some were worse than car salesmen lying out both sides of their mouths !
My advise for somebody new looking would be have them take lots pictures of all 4 corners of the outside, roof, tires , underhood, several shots of the interior (close up shots) , not standing in back taking a picture of the front etc. If they don't/won't do it , don't waste your time.
There was one on the Reno CL older 26ft had auto leveling jacks and a few more ad ons, the ad stated firm something like $26 I could only get it booked at $17K
So yeah most are way overpriced..
Here's 3 that I'm sure you could get the price down lower , and not have alot of money tied up in it..!
