Sorry if this sounds a bit like a vent session. Maybe it is.We're looking to find a trailer, and have a limited budget. Found this one:https://www.rvvaluemart.com/product/used-2006-starcraft-antigua-305qbs-1623698-29It's under our budget, and looks nice inside. They say:Needs a little TLC and exterior detail to make it nice for the price-Sold AS-ISBut they had no more details on their page. (Still don't at time of posting this.) I emailed them for a few more details, and a few days later I got this:The 2006 Starcraft is still available. To see pricing and detailed information, please see;https://www.rvvaluemart.com/rv-search?s=true&stocknumber=starcraftPlease let me know if you would like to take a look at it.I know I'm not looking at the shiny new BIG MONEY trailers, but doesn't seem like they're even trying.

everybody email, texts, whatever.. NOBODY ever just calls and speaks face to face anymore.. Nobody just Shows up and looks.... give them a call and ask about it... strike up a conversation....Good things may comeNot sure its worth calling it a bad issue?

Maybe you're right... I wasn't feeling great this AM. Perhaps I'm just used to doing everything through a keyboard.

FTG is right, as you now realize. When dealers have units online, they get many online inquires. They can't spend too much time on follow up, until the potential customer shows real interest. Talking with you, they get a better feel! They can determine if you are even a qualified buyer. Telling them you will be paying cash, will light their bulb!Jerry

Hey mkenyon2,They probably aren't going to spend a lot of time with you discussing a $6k trailer. Is this very far from you? Can you swing by and see it in person?Are you experienced enough to inspect it yourself to figure out all of the options and see where the bodies are buried? If not, search for a mobile tech in your area and see if you can hire him/her to spend an hour or two going through the rig for you. It would be money well spent, plus it might give you some negotiating points.It's a sellers' market right now, so there's no telling how much time they'll be willing to spend with you on this sale. Good luck! :)

Buying a RV is a highly up close subjective and personal thing.Keyboard buying is remote and impersonal, photos tend to lie and misrepresent the actual condition.Ads are placed to entice you to go see it in person.If it close enough to you, go and see it in person then make your choice.

Never heard of them until now. Many years ago I used RV trader to find my TT with great results for over 12 years until I sold it for a good price to RV dealer.

If it is close enough go and look at it. If you still like it offfer $4K and work from there. Retail, according to NADA, is $5750. Be sure to inspect the roof and look for any water damage.

Their comment "Sold As Is" is a Red Flag. Do you feel Lucky? It could be a good deal with only minor work required or it could just turn into a "Money Pit On Wheels".
Go look at it if close enough and maybe bring along an RVing friend for another set of eyes.

Red flag? It’s 15 years old. Advertising it with any sort of warranty would actually be a red flag! Lol.

That said, the original question is a bit silly. If you’re interested in buying a used (vehicle/ RV/etc), why wouldn’t you make your best initial assessment and go look at it in person?
It is not for sale on Amazon and this is not an issue that the internet can help you with.
If it’s a solid candidate verify in person.

I prefer addressing only the trusted and biggest companies. I can suggest checking the General RV service. This is the nation's largest family-owned RV dealer with several offices in different states. If you have doubts, it is always possible to find and read the general rv reviews by link, I'm sure a lot of people use their services.
