Goldencrazy: You missed the point of my post. The selling price and the value of the trade in are NOT important, it is the difference between the two. The smaller the difference, the better the deal. NADA value on your coach is: low retail $66,870 and average retail $80,570. The Wholesale Value, or the dealer trade in value is approximately 10% below low retail, or $60,000. You usually can find the Wholesale NADA guide in a good reference library for the exact figure. If you can get the dealer to a trade difference of about $48,000 would that be a good deal for you? If it is, tell him your deal, or go even lower on the trade difference, say $40,000, and if he accepts it, don't worry about how he gets there.
I understand and agree. I did exactly what you suggest and we got closer but by then we had inventoried the differences and determined we were not eager to trade. Had he gotten to bottom line quicker I would have paid more and be moving into new motor home in the rain. Glad he didn't as we were too eager for the change. Damn three year itch. Thanks for the interest.
