So I e-mailed interest in a coach and was told the average NADA value of mine was $80,000 and basically we could start bargaining from there. We then saw they had discounted a 2013 so we asked for num...

It is so confusing looking at all the numbers from NADA, Dealers, MSRP, asking price and real life price when it comes to RVs. I am looking for a used MH now and the most I found is that the asking price is rarely low NADA retail, pretty hard to say how much a dealer is ready to go.
The best I found was to look at many of the same RV for sale for many months and then figured a price I would be willing to pay for that RV. I guess if you figure what your's is worth on the market, reduce the price for a mark up for the dealer, then no more than 30% for his new one.
From my very limited experience, It was fairly easy to take 10% from the asking price for 2 used RV from 2 different dealers, and that was without seeing the RV at the dealer and they offered to lower it some more after a few talks. So If they are willing to loose 10% from their asking it would means to me they paid 20 to 25% or more less. I would check the asking price for the same RV as mine, take off 20% for trade in value and not pay more than 30% less than MSRP for new. It sure probalby depends on how popular is your actual RV.
For a previous year / new RV, I do not think it will loose another 20% like it is when you drive out the yard. I would say minus 30% from MSRP then another maybe 5 to 10% less.
