NADA is a good start to compare, but it is what it is. There is much more than the sold price in a MH: cleanliness, condition, tire, options, milleage and the "smell", some are disgusting and not curable.
You will rarely find a MH with a asking price that match the NADA average retail, the NADA prices are sold price, negociated price, same with PPL. I once got $10,000 off over the phone on a $50,000 Allegro sold by PPL.
I sold a Truck Camper $23500, NADA was $26700 average retail but the average asking price for these where around $25000, I doubt I could have got over 25000. I bought a Monaco Cayman DP 2003 and paid 35000 after a good negociation, NADA said average 30,000. After a year checking the internet and looking at MH, I never saw a Cayman 2003 at that starting price. If you want to pay NADA average retail, be prepare to negociate.
