Truck Camper Value
We have a 2010 Adventure Truck camper, lots of features except air and generator. It's clean and well maintained. The kids are outgrowing it. We were in Portland on vacation and stopped by an RV lot. The wife liked a trailer and the salesman convinced us to hang out while he did some numbers. He said he would take the camper in trade. We were curious, so we hung out.
He came back and said he would offer $11,000. We walked out! Not just for that but his price for the trailer was not flexible and $3000 over comparables via google. Seriously though $11k? Is that all its worth now after 3 years. I checked NADA www.nadaguides.com and it said low retail 18k, average 22k, suggested 28k. Heck new ones with gen are 32k (overpriced).
Now I know asking for mid retail on a trade is bad since they do have to make a profit. We were looking for close to $20 for it. We owe 16k. Am I way off base?
Thanks
