Great, Average or Poor deal
Can I have some feedback on the valuation of this Newmar please. I have poked around online and it seems in its price spread. There is also a TOAD there that could be part of the deal but lets just ...

----To ad...I have heard all good about Newmar...I realize this is an entry level trim level, is it wise advice to consider this one? -----

Just as someone stated, the Dutch Star is not the entry level (I believe it is the Kountry Star that is entry level in DPs).
I looked at both models previously and the dealer and I stayed about 2K apart on a Kountry Star - I just felt it wasn't worth the extra. Smaller engine, lower level finishes, less towing capacity, no WD etc.
However, less than a year later I bought my 2003 DSDP from him at what I considered an excellent price (offered cash!). Much better finish inside, 10K towing, WD installed, full body paint etc.
Also Newmar only builds to specification on confirmed orders (no mass production) and they allow a lot of customization, so two same model DSDP from the same year may have a lot of different features that add value.
As to the one you've listed, I think the price is on the high end of the scale.
I also asked of dozens of opinions on various MHs when I was buying and upgrading - there's lots of good advice so far.
Half the fun in buying a MH is the search for the perfect one (and then maybe for the real perfect one after that!)
