go to KBB.Com and look at rv's they will list add ons. Most of what you say he is adding price for have little value as add ons. Just like buying a truck or car. You can have hi dollar add ons but in reality they do not add any value. Another good place is your local financial institution. See what they will lend you on the vehicle and base your bid off that. If for example they will only loan $0K then that is your start point. Tires are the big consideration. Most appliances will last the life of the rig with the major exception being the AC unit. also make sure a generator if it has one will carry a load. Not just start up. We almost bought a 99 for $11K 3 years ago, but it had no slides so wife did not want! Everything was in great shape other than the slides.
Kinda hard to help with pricing when you dont indicate where you are at also. Here in SW units may be a little cheaper due to summer. Also beware of units located on sea shore or from NE due to possible salt corrosion on hardware. Found a nice unit at a dealer, had corroded bay locks and frame rust. Talked to dealer made alternate bid, never heard from him. Unit came from upper midwest!
