Help pricing a used RV?

Hi all,

We are looking to buy our first RV (we have been tent/travel trailer campers in the past).

Its a 1999 Winnebago Minnie 24W. Its got 60k miles. The dealer is asking $15999 and is holding firm. I think the price is in the ballpark but I am having a hard time paying asking price :)

Do you have any advice on pricing one and going in with some evidence to get them to lower their price?

With a 16 year old RV, value is all in the condition of the rig. You think the price is fair and they won't come down, so you have a decision point. Discount and asking price means nothing. I mean, would the deal be better if they were asking $18999 and then they gave you a 15% discount ($16149 selling price)? If you feel the value meets or exceeds the final price, buying is a logical decision.
