Price difference question?

I am looking at 2 different 2001 30ft Fleetwood Storm Class A. Same engine's, same mileage and both in great shape. One is 4k more, but it has leveling jacks, satellite setup and solar system already installed. Does the $4k seem about right? Thanks for all the good info I have received
  • Unless the satellite system includes a real sat dish, not just a crank up, and a receiver, and the solar is real solar panels and a 3 stage charge controller, they are just something. Check the blue book value of the MHs. You will find the listed items are actually standard equipment, and included in the base price. Look at Kelly Blue Book prices and print them out and take them with you to the dealer for the final price work. Everyone will tell you what you should pay, but only you will know what it is worth to you.
    Good luck
  • Yes, the more expensive unit is worth it. However, check the sat TV system - if it's an original factory unit, it may be outdated and no longer usable. When was the last time they used it? Even if it doesn't work, it's still worth the extra.

  • Thanks for the input, I know that these items can be purchased after market, but looking at purchase costs and then installation costs I most likely would not be saving much. And if they are already there, someone has worked out the bugs.

  • Check tires to negotiate the price down on the one with sat. In any awe all else being equal I would get the one with more stuff.
