NEED TO SELL

HEALTH IS BRINGING MY RVING DAYS TO A CLOSE. NEED TO SELL MY RV AND TRUCK.

WOULD LIKE SOME ADVICE ON THE BEST PLACE TO DO THAT.

THANKS

  • Another question to answer is are you upside down or under water... do you owe more than Blue Booked values it at? If so your cash is going to be needed to payoff whatever the buyer does not cover.

    Best in what respect ?

    If getting the top dollar out of it is most important, then there is one answer.

    If minimum hassle and making a quick sale is more important, then you get a different answer.

    Almost any dealership that handles used units will buy it from you or sell it on consignment but that usually means that you will get LESS than fair wholesale price.

    And I think that Florida isn't necessarily a good place to sell a used unit. A really LOT of them end up here because of circumstances very similar to yours.

    Good luck.

    i would want to pass like this.
    i would be camping, in the mountains. sitting by a lake with a mountain in the back (yet close by) just as the sun is coming up and i have my coffee next to me on the table and my dog by my side.
    just slip away into a final sleep.


    Lets add a gentle breeze.:)

    ADS ON CL ALL IN CAPS TEND TO DRAW FLAGS

    On CL it's advisable to not annoy the ad readers, if you do they may just flag your ad on the way out. Enough of those and the ad comes down.

    If you're going to advertise on CL stick to the facts, include the important details. Do not copy and paste long list of standard features, only include options. Do not copy pictures or ad copy from anywhere else. And make sure to price like a normal person not a dealer. Lastly do NOT emulate other ads you see on CL.. that's one of the more common things we see in flag help "but everyone else does that".

  • You can try advertising on Craigs List We have saved time and hassle and sold two cars to CarMax. Give you dealer price, but quick and easy and no hassle.
