My first TT was a 2012 JayFlight bought new in Oct 2011 --
Sticker + delivery = $24,500
I paid = $18k + TTL
Listed on CL in Nov 2013 $15,000
Sold on CL in Dec 2013 = $14,500
The original TT lacked to separate bunk house we determined we neede when kid 3 was born.
Purchased current TT private party used from CL. It's a 2012 JayFlight purchased in Feb 2014.
Original owner purchased new in March 2012
Sticker + Delivery = $33k
He claimed to have paid $25k
He listed on CL for $18,500
I bought from him for $16,250.
I overpaid for my first TT, rookie buyer mistake :-). I think I got more for my TT private party than I would have paid for it after a couple years of experience around RVs. however that buyer was a first time TT owner and just fell in love with our unit -- about like I did originally. He made and offer and I accepted.
I really tried to buy ours for $15,500, but it was a divorce and both husband and wife had to sign title and wife would agree so I reluctantly increased offer because spring was coming quickly and I new more buyers would start to emerge.
