Okay guys, lots of warnings but not one answer to my question,
"I have read a lot of posts regarding the purchase of a rental unit and after PMing IAMICHABOD and discussing his experience with El Monte RV, I went to look this afternoon. We are not quite ready to buy but, I was interested in the various rigs they have for sale. The one I liked best from the online ads is the 2005 Jamboree 31W. I looked it up on NADA and the notes on that year and model state that a awning and some other items are standard equipment. I understand that rentals are special ordered without things like awnings, my question is does one deduct from the NADA price because they don't have those items? I feel I should deduct them from the low retail price before making an offer. What do you Guys think?"
Maybe I should put it this way. NADA says there should be an awning and a outside entertainment system and a couple of other things. Of course being a rental those things weren't on the rig.
Question; Should I decuct the cost of the standard items that are not there from the asking price if I make an offer?
I think that would be fair. Of course if I found any other problems I would have those fixed or deduct the cost of those too.
