I agree that tires are not the most important factor but it's going to cost about $6,100 for a new set of Michelins (8) for that coach. Just something to keep in mind for negotiationg purposes.

Agree with you 100%. Just wanted to make sure the buyer realizes tires do not make the rig. Once you get several posters focusing on that single attribute, as happened in this thread, some people may put too much focus on it. At $200+K for the rig, even 8 new tires is less than 3% of the cost of the rig, and it sounds like this rig, provided it is in good shape is priced well enough that the tires wouldn't make or break the deal for me.

NADA low retail is $263,730 and average retail is $317,750. NADA Wholesale is usually about 10% below low retail, so about $236,000. You can find the actual NADA Wholesale book at a good reference library. Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado TX has a 2007 navigator at $209,999. 4 others listed on RV Trader. There is also a 2007 Monaco Executive for sale in Oklahoma City for $175,000, and one in London KY for $229,000. Do a national search on RV Trader or RV USA.

If everything checks out OK, tires are newish...sounds like a real decent price to me too! MSRP on that coach was probably close to $550,000.

I don't believe anyone gives a "wholesale" pricing...just a low and high retail. However, after looking at NADA for this unit, I found that it has several different models (floor plans) with three different engines and number of slide outs.

Typically, dealers will buy at low retail (or a little less) and then try to sell it for high retail (or a little more). This unit's low retail could be as high as 263K and as low as 257K.

So, at 215K, I would say it is a steal.

The Navigator is an excellent coach. Just about everything is standard, so if you are using NADA as a guide, don't add for anything, and use the "wholesale" or "trade-in" value as an indication of actual market value. Those figures are available in the printed version of the guide available at banks or libraries. But, a better indication of value is to go to PPL's web site and look at sold Navigators and Monaco Signatures.

In any event, you'll probably learn a lot of useful information talking to an owner of a coach rather than a salesman. So, take the drive.
