I'm aware of the depreciation hit. In doing a preliminary pricing search to determine my budget range, I've noted the hit. :) I saw the MSRP vs Dealer current model year drop vs prior model year price drop.
A "factory Direct" seller that I viewed had MSRP as you build your MH and then it calculated a "discount", which ranged 20-25%, to get to your final cost. They are still profiting, we just may not know how much. Again it proves out the 20-25% markup. that has been mentioned many times on this forum. yes I'm into numbers. it's my thing. :) I needed to prove it. Not that I believe in MSRP, but knowing the common realistic value is a big help (preaching the choir I know).
I enjoy long drives(as in day plus at a time) and having my house(so to speak) with me would be a plus, BIG PLUS. I want or strongly considering New because I tend to keep things for a long time. Might as well enjoy it from mile 1 :)
valid point Jerseyjim about resale. I guess I should modify my no slide to at least the bed must be accessible without extending the slide. Oh, NEPA = Northeastern PA. we are neighbors :)
wyotraveler are you serious about the bathroom access? LOL someone designed a MH with difficult access to bathroom because of a slide? I have to look for one of those now. that's nobel prize territory. :) Driving with the comforts of home but still need a tree when nature calls.
