Isn't High Mileage Still a Problem on DP's
I have always heard that 100,000/+ miles is just breaking in a diesel MH. Lack of use, indicated by low mileage, is a bad thing. NADA doesn't even want you to include mileage in looking up values. ...

The reason I ask this question is I was about to buy a 2007 Dynamax Isata on a F550 diesel chassis (I know its not a DP, but my question was generic) with 20,000 miles. The price was agreed at $5K over NADA low retail.
Then (at the 11th hour) I come across a 2008 Dynamax DynaQuest (same floor plan, more expensive model, but with 94,000 miles) and we negotiate a price of $7 below NADA low retail. The DynaQuest is on a Freightliner chassis with a Mercedes engine. The price to value is much better on the DynaQuest, but is it enough to offset the selling resistance I might face at resale time? That is what I am struggling with.
PS. rgatijnet1, just read your post and it is right on target. Thanks.
