Purchasing a New Coach -> Trading Old
Hello All, We're in the process of looking for and purchasing a new MH. Our current coach is old and we just don't want to deal with tire kickers, we prefer to trade it. So the question came up a...

It's called negotiation. Your 16 year old MH really has little or no value to the dealer. I know, it is spotless, well cared for, excellently maintained, but in reality it does not have much trade in value. I put our lovely 12 year old 70k mile Holiday Rambler on consignment and settled for $20K after all costs. The negotiation part comes from how badly the dealer wants to sell the new MH. Increasing the trade in price and decreasing the selling price might have tax advantages for you, depending on the State. We just purchased a new motorhome, trading in our 10 year old Adventurer 50K miles. It was beautiful and well worth over the $60K noted in NADA. We took $40k which the dealer offered sight unseen. I too don't want the hassle of selling a motorhome.
Good Luck, and enjoy your new purchase.
