I guess I'm most impressed by the condition and price of this Jayco. It just looks and feels like a quality unit that was very well taken care of. All others (2005-2008) I have seen have been well used or not taken care of very well. This Jayco is about as clean as I will probably find for a used model without going new.
However, after stepping into other models on the lot that have a large slide, the difference is impressive. DW thinks we should stick to models with slide(s), buth then thinks we have to put a stop to how much we want to spend or it will never end!!!
So, that being said, it appears I will be looking at $32-$37K for a 30' with slide, in the 2007-2009 year range, and with under 25K miles.
Man, just to think, a few weeks ago I was going to settle on a $15K model and be happy with that!! Maybe I can still be happy with a $15K model??????
I live on a 1/2 acre with plenty of RV parking.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.....
To answer your question on financing vs buying outright, I recommend financing but be sure to hold the loan amount equal to the value of the RV. This is low risk as you're never up-side down on the loan, and the cost of money is as close to free as it will ever be. There is absolutely no point in tying up your money in an RV, its just a big expense.
