Since you posted this in the Class A forum, you probably should be aware that NADA retail anything is WAY TOO HIGH for most all Diesel Pusher motorhomes. If someone were to offer me NADA low retail for my well maintained, low mileage coach, they would be an owner and I would be happy to send them a $20,000 Christmas gift to boot, especially if they calculated that value with book listed adds. This may not be true of Super C rigs, but I highly doubt it.
The reason I ask this question is I was about to buy a 2007 Dynamax Isata on a F550 diesel chassis (I know its not a DP, but my question was generic) with 20,000 miles. The price was agreed at $5K over NADA low retail.
Then (at the 11th hour) I come across a 2008 Dynamax DynaQuest (same floor plan, more expensive model, but with 94,000 miles) and we negotiate a price of $7 below NADA low retail. The DynaQuest is on a Freightliner chassis with a Mercedes engine. The price to value is much better on the DynaQuest, but is it enough to offset the selling resistance I might face at resale time? That is what I am struggling with.
PS. rgatijnet1, just read your post and it is right on target. Thanks.
