New member intro and ? On new vs. used TT pricing

People want to put very little down and then get taken for a ride by the dealer on the price. They're really upside down before they even step foot in their new trailer. The first few years of just about every loan is mostly interest so they're not paying off much. They then try to sell or trade in their trailer and reality sets in. Then you see them on online trying to sell the trailer for what they owe instead of what it's worth. Dealers are always trying to get the max profit, so you're always going to see high prices from them.

Another thing to remember is that the prices you see online are just asking prices. You can always toss out a number that you think is fair based off the actual value. There's only one of two things that are going to happen. They're going to say yes or no. If no then move on to the next one.

Based off of the threads I see here it seems like it's pretty tough to find a well cared for and fairly priced trailer. It may look fine aesthetically and priced appropriately, but you never know what's going on under the roof, floors, or behind the walls. I'm from the "Buy new. Drive it until the axles fall off and the roof caves in" camp. But that's just me. It's no guarantee that you won't have problems, but at least you have a manufacturer that should stand behind their product.

Also, I know you said that you've narrowed your list down to one trailer, but I happen to know of quite a few more trailers with that exact floorplan if you're interested.
