USED 2014 FOREST RIVER HIGHWALL - Should I buy it if...

Pup in question is 2014 Forest River Flagstaff HW27SC. Dealer trade-in from single owner. Price is good, everything appears to be in good working order, no water damage, but a couple of snags on the canvas over one of the beds and over the dinette slide.

Was raining hard today when I looked at it and no rain was leaking through. Has been treated with something to prevent further tearing and the dealer says they will patch properly.

Is this something that should prevent me from buying this pup or is it reasonable wear and tear for someone who used it "a few times"? They are only asking $12,800 for it.

All opinions are very welcomed. This is our first RV. Just wanting to know if we should let this one pass by until a better one comes along.
  • Just remember that the dealers idea of "fixing it right" and your idea may be two different ideas.....talk it over with him - see what the SERVICE DEPARTMENT is thinking the fix should be - NOT THE SALESPERSON!!!!!

    For that specific model that price is FAIR. (not high or low - just right)
    (nice pick BTW)

    But never give the dealers what they are asking for, always negotiate!
    They can always lower their asking price a bit more - that's how the market works.

    The snags are not a big deal - just make sure that the dealer fix/patch it properly BEFORE you pay or take delivery.

  • "Only" $12,800? Google the model number and you'll find prices for new and used ones at other dealers. I suspect you'll find that this is too high, but I might be wrong.
  • Sounds like a high price...might want to list year,model, box size etc.
