Door #1 or Door #2
Ready to buy a camper and I'm down to two. Really struggling with this and thought I would ask for some feedback.
Both dealers are giving me the same exact amount for my trade in, so that is a wash. Both campers have the same options on them generally. I would be happy with either as an upgrade over my current camper.
Camper 1 is a 2009 Lance, 60 hours on the generator so lightly used, dealer certified. I prefer this floor plan of the two. I can buy it for $3,000 BELOW NADA Low Retail, but I have to travel 1,100 miles to pick it up.
Camper 2 is an 2012 Adventurer, literally looks brand new inside. 5 hours on the generator. I can buy this camper for $1,300 ABOVE NADA Low Retail, and only travel 300 miles to get it.
My out of pocket cost is $1,200 more for Camper 2 the Adventurer, but travel expense will be much less obviously.
Purely on numbers and like new condition, I would go with Camper 2. But I keep going back to Camper 1 being my preferred floor plan and NADA values Lance $3,000 - $4,000 higher than the Adventurer, though NADA does not take into account how new/unused the Adventurer is versus the Lance. It simply values both as used.
Haha, hope this isn't too confusing.
Thoughts?
