Yep , just like vehicles on KBB everybody selling their vehicle books it out as excellent condition ! You know with the cracked windshield, balled tires, some with a salvage title to obvious bad paint matched painted fenders, qtr panels etc.
Same with NADA Low Retail ,,, Avg Retail. They go straight to Avg retail then book it all out with out really reading WHAT IS STANDARD and what are options !
The MH's are worn, torn, abused, and usually the tires are shot BUT has lots of tread left.
I posted here on another thread on one ad on a MH said tires replaced 4K miles ago. They didn't mention that it was 7-8 years tho when they were replaced..
Never mind that grand canyon cracks in the sidewall , I had one idiot say "You don't ride on the sidewalls"
I d, ask the basic questions. Look it up on NADA book it best I can ,go look at it and check it out. Look it over good both the good and bad of it.
Talk with the owner/salesman knowing what I booked it as and if it had extras or not. 100% of the time they are asking 5-8k over book price.And have priced everything on/in it including the standard equipment !
So far I have found one well more like stumbled on it by chance yesterday.
A 2006 Itasca Cambria with 14,500 miles on it. Outside looks very clean except for the clear coat on the cap over cab a couple spots are shot. So whole top cap will need re-shot or at least wet sanded and shoot the clearcoat maybe?
Inside looks really clean and the TV has been upgraded to a FS tv.
According to NADA it books Low Retail $32,600 Avg Retail $39,300 they are asking $38,500 NADA shows add $6200 miles for the low mileage.
Have not added any options because I'm not sure what would be options on it yet?
We are suppose to go look at it this week.
I know nothing about them and have been trying to read up on them !
I am at the " I'M DONE LOOKING AT USED OVERPRICED %$#& MH'S " point and was/am in talks with Nexus to have one built.
If this Itasca Cambria turns out to be bust we are going with a Nexus..
