How to figure out “Used” DP Coach Prices?
Here are four (4) American Heritage coaches and Four (4) Newmar Essex coaches that are currently on the market. They are all 45’ - all have the same drive-train and all are said to be in excellent shape. Here are the coaches;
2006 American Heritage bath & half - 4 slides - 50,600 miles $279,900
2006 American Heritage bath & half - 4 slides - 30,700 miles $209,900
2006 American Heritage bath & half - 4 slides - 32,000 miles $239,800
2006 American Heritage bath & half - 4 slides - 51,200 miles $341,800
NADA American Heritage NADA low price is $279,440
2006 45’ Newmar Essex bath & half - 4 slides - 52,000 miles $213,900
2006 45’ Newmar Essex bath & half - 4 slides - 30,000 miles $275,900
2006 45’ Newmar Essex bath & half - 4 slides - 18,000 miles $254,800
2006 45’ Newmar Essex bath & half - 4 slides - 33,800 miles $189,900
NADA Newmar Essex low price is $206,220
Why such $ differences? I understand that some may have satellite and other upgrades but how big a deal is that? A satellite is of no interest to me so if its tacked on to the price as far as I'm concerned its a negative.
A friend of mine bought a Jeep Rubicon and tricked it out with new tires, rims and you name it and he did it. When he goes to sell it he will very possibly not get a dime back for all he added. He knows that too but its what he wanted.
If you add a bunch of stuff to the base price of a motorhome, do you get it back or is it more like the Rubicon? An American Heritage is an American Heritage right? Sure you can hang things here and put things there but is it not still a American Heritage or a Newmar King Aire?
With above coaches the mileage doesn’t make a difference, not with a diesel. So what establishes such a difference in price as we see above because again, “it’s an American Heritage” or a Newmar King Aire!
So how do you figure out what price to start with when you’re negotiating to purchase a coach. Especially when one is so much more expensive from the other? I mean if the asking price is $209,900 and you offer $189,900 you’ve taken $20,000 off asking price. But if a like coach as shown above has an asking price of $341,800 and you offer $189,900 that's $152,000 difference. How do you reconcile something like that? How do you determine a fair and reasonable starting price? And a fair and reasonable asking price for that matter?
