Has anyone ever just sold their trailer outright to a dealer and not bought another? If you did what would you say was the percentage of the value that they gave you.
About 2 months ago I went to trade in our 26' 1997 Innsbruck in on a new camper and the dealer would only give me $1900 for it (it was in decent condition). I said the hell with that and decided to put it on Craig's list instead. I sold it within 5 days for $2900.00 (originally asked $3000.00). If I were you I would sell it on your own.
Same thing happened with us. I had several quotes from several dealers ranging from $5000-$7000. The surprising thing is every dealer I spoke to suggested that I sell it myself. I put it on craigslist and sold it 3 days later for $9600 to the 2nd person that looked at it.
