OK. Thanks to you all. It all may be for naught because I got an off the cuff quote from the RV dealer for my coach and they said "in the 25K neighborhood"... I thence told him he could stuff his quote where the sun dont shine if thats the best they can do.
I know its not worth new price....heck even "Im" not worth new prices.....:B,,:S....but to let my rig go for 25K..... I'll let it sit till the Alcoa's rust off it!
Well DANG! I was getting excited about hearing of your new wheels. If I may suggest.... I helped my neighbor sell her 14 View Profile about 6 months ago after her hubby passed. It took about 6 months to move it. It had about 750 miles on it and the plastic was still on the carpets.
Initially, she took it back to the dealer here in town to see if they could put it on the lot. They were willing to 'take it off her hands' for about 50% of her purchase price. (Yes, he sold it to her...) I thought we could do better. She eventually got about 90% of her purchase price back.
What I learned: Your local newspaper may be one of your best advertising values... and any 'big' city close by. That's what brought in the tire kickers and lookers....eventually a buyer.
I also added a listing on iRV2 forums. They have a very nice easy to use "Classifieds" section. You can add photos, etc., etc.. That got lots of coverage and a couple nibbles. I also posted on the Sprinter-Forum classified (it had a 3500 chassis).
I prepared a short and long form 'brochure'in PDF that I could email to interested parties. Printed the small ones and posted at our local RV shops and RV camps. They didn't bring anyone in but it made it easy to tell someone what was in the coach.
Hope this helps.....
Well mine is 15 years old and now its winter....*sigh* But if I have to keep it cover till nest spring...so be it. Ive done that many a winder before.
As I said its NOT new....but only has about 54K miles on a ISC Cummins.....far from being worn out. Does need tires or anything...so Im not going to bend over and give it away!
