Idk what the specific price for that model should be, but you've got good advice there.
Couple things I've noticed, buying 2 used AF campers up here:
There are ALOT of them on the market in this area, so don't settle for paying more or getting less than what you want. They're dime a dozen.
The top brands fetch more $, AF, Eagle Cap, host, Lance.
IMO, condition, storage conditions and amount of use are much more important than model year. I looked at a bunch of campers and other than different upholstery and interior decorating there are not many advancements between newer and older models.
The 2 biggies for AF is the new barrel ceiling and back when they went to aluminum frame in 05. (Although I had a 05 before the 03 and idk if it matters. I can't tell the difference)
Lastly, I would almost always take one that is stored inside rather than outside. For many reasons.
