Soren, thanks and yes, I had added options. Your number is correct. But I added them because they are not standard equip on those, there's everything from a second house battery to 3M film on the paint to an all new interior to auto leveling, etc. so, the market doesn't add anything for those? I could buy, and have seen, units with half the miles but twice the crap, worn seats and stained couches, scraped up, dingy floors, etc. This has all-new everything. Now, there's got to be a way to "quantify" that?? And I HEAR YOU about the average buyer balking at a 6-figure OD...I'll do some research on that

So what you are saying is that you have been told by several knowledgeable folks on this forum that the is no such thing as adding for options in determining real world value, yet you are doing it anyway, adding 25% to the alleged value of the unit, and you are doing this why????? The fact is that everybody from the bank, to the dealer, to the guy who buys this out of your front yard a few years from now, has zero interest in the fluff you can add to pump up the numbers on NADA. If you are willing to take your time and put a lot of work in, you will find privately owned units that are in your price range and not beat up. As for your "all new everything" comment. How do you know you aren't falling for lipstick on a pig? Eight years of HARD use by folks that have little, to zero idea how to properly treat an expensive piece of equipment and you only see the shiny new décor. I think about 180* out of sink with you. I got a great price on a ten year old diesel that has a really dated interior. It looks like grannies apartment at the old folks village circa 1989. The flip side is that the coach is rock solid, obsessively maintained and has great bones. The shiny new décor is cheap compared to finding a well loved, obsessively maintained rig with low miles and built on a platform that will last for decades.
