How to figure out selling price for trailer?
So, we're looking to upgrade soon to a 5er, but we have our current trailer, which is a TT toyhauler that we need to do something with. We owe about 25k on it.
We've found the 5er we want and have talked to 2 separate dealers in 2 states about it. One offered us 20k as a trade for our TT, and the other offered us 14k (but a better price on the 5er). Either way, once it all worked out, the pricing was similar for each dealer, with the local one edging out the WY one slightly.
So, based on that, we would like to try and sell it ourselves for a little bit before biting the bullet and trading it in. But how to figure out pricing, especially since the trade values the dealers gave us vary wildly?
With our options, according to NADA, the trade in is around 23k. Low Retail is around 32k (which is what we paid for it), and high retail is around 39k (ha ha). I went on RV trader and there's only 3 models like ours total in the entire country for sale on there. One is at 18k, one is at 21k, and the other is close to 30k and has some custom upgrades. The 18k and the 21k look pretty similar to ours, but ours is less "used" as we've only actually taken it out a handful of times, and have only hauled a toy in it once, to bring it home from the dealer. We also have a built-in Onan 4k in ours, the listed cheaper ones don't, the 30k one does.
They don't make our trailer as a Raptor anymore, it's now rebranded as a Carbon 27. New, those appear to be running anywhere from 28-38k.
We were thinking of just asking what we owe and seeing if anybody offered anything. What would RV.net users ask for this trailer, on the private market?
