I find it funny when the OP has thoughts like this. NOBODY seems to think it is way out of line for (pre 2008) people were buying houses cheap, doing a few cosmetic upgrades and then flipping the house for a 200% to 400% profit. THEY were smart people the thinking goes. OR, someone buys a house and years later they sell that same house for 3 or 4 time what they paid for it and it is "that is the market", NOT they are ripping people off. OR someone bought a house during the 2000 to 2008 house appreciation binge and then after the market collapsed, they walk away because that GREAT INVESTMENT came down to earth and they do not feel they owe the bank back the money they were lent. As others pointed out---Car and RV dealers are there to make money, NOT get you out of a depreciated purchase or to help you out, SELL IT YOURSELF IF YOU THINK IT IS WORTH WHAT YOU THINK. I NEVER buy a new car or motorcycle. I have been in the Auto/RV business for 40 years and I KNOW what a new vehicle is worth once it is driven off the lot. I buy 2 to 5 year old vehicles after the others have taken the hit on depreciation. Doug
