NADA pricing??? Are you freaking kidding me? I have no idea where the NADA Guide pricing comes from but it is a joke. They show my 2012 Nexus Phantom 23P Class C as being worth:
List $84,279
Low Retail: $51,250
Average retail: $61,750
I paid $47,000 2 years ago when it had 6,205 miles
New today, they can be bought for around $60,000 nicely equipped (comparable to our 2012).
NADA pricing is absurd and does not even begin to reflect the actual value of anything. Believe me, I wish my 3 year old (currently with 29,000+ miles), coach was worth $24,000 more than the original owners paid for it but give me a break! :S
Why anyone would even look at NADA pricing, much less believe it as is beyond belief.
For the record... as much as I love our coach, if anyone out there would like to offer me $84,000, heck even $54,000, I will deliver the rig to you anywhere in the continental united States at no additional charge. Just send me a PM and I will schedule your delivery. :W
{Yes, I am kidding. If I sold our coach (at any price) my bride would kill me slowly.}
:B
I have the same opinion about NADA. I bought my 2014 31K new in Mar. 2013, for $3-4000 less than what NADA says the average retail value is now.
