1989 Class A,,,question on value :)

[luberhill]

Ok we have been looking for a used unit to see IF we will like the RV life..local dealer has a 1989 Winne class A 22k miles very solid and nice condition...
He said they are asking just under 15k....im thinking this is way overpriced even if it is mint...but I really don know...its a gas engine
Is this even worth considering or am I gonna be Eddie from Christmas Vacation 🙂
Or should this thing be junked !

If everything works or is repairable, there's no reason to junk a low priced rig. Many people (us included) would rather buy an older motor home than rent to experience the lifestyle before diving in for $20k-$2m.

Five years ago we bought a 1995 P30 chassis 28 footer. We did weekend and vacation trips for 2 years to see if we liked it. It showed us that a 28 footer would be too small for our eventual goal - traveling for 3-6 moths around the country.

We bought it for $12.5, I put about $5k into it, sold it 2 years later for $14.5 and it's on CL now for $14. The seller won't get that, but $10k is certainly reasonable.

A quick look at search all Craigslist shows an average around $8500. That's sounds like a good place to start.

No, it shouldn't be junked.

Yes, it's way overpriced.
