Travato 59K Price?

My husband and I are thinking seriously about the 59K. Looking around the Web it seems prices are all over the place. Does anyone have recent experience or a feel for what a fair price would be for a gas unit?

I had to chuckle at this; I am an European that moved to the USA years back and know European campers very well - let me tell you that the Winnebago's are a lot nicer than the European counterparts. Besides that the Fiat Ducato is a proven van..

Seeing the bulk of Class C's are moving to Sprinters, with Pro Masters making a lot of the new entrants, It would seem the Europeans are taking over. Not a fan of Winnebagos, well their travel trailers have not been successful here. So you sound like your in the minority

Much more reliable, comfortable and easy to repair. Fiat Ducato makes good delivery vans..but US Ford and Chevy play in another league.
So sad to see nothing but imports roaming US roads. Buy American if you want quality and style.
My 2 cents rant...

Strange there not impressed by " American Iron" in Australia, or it appears in Europe.
Yes Ford and Chevy, they do play in another league, the minor league. Seeing you are from "Europe":R

Thanks Neverhappy, we think alike on several points, but I won't write too much on it here, so I don't shift the thread too much. But this is important consideration you have added, in relation to the price question, since Travato is one of the lowest priced complete and ready-to-go B's. I like the Promaster a lot from what I have seen, but I don't have any direct data or reports to share; it's a personal impression. The V-6 Pentastar engine is a good one, at least in cars (used in base-model Dodge Challengers, and many happy customers there). I'm with you on US (and Canadian) iron, and since 1992 I have had an excellent run of quality and longevity.

When I was shopping Travatos extensively a year ago, prices in the mid 70s were possible to find all around in listings, but it appears my 1 year old data is already becoming past history. Always good to check last year's model availability and price, as well as current year models.

Dodge driver here, many MOPAR cars and vans driven to high mileage in 90s, 00s, and 10s. I also chuckle at the Consumer Reports led ragging on Chrysler Corp. It's a value brand, never said it was best quality of all. Ducato is reportedly the number one delivery van in use in Europe. So I am all ears on details, but Ducato and Promaster should not get disparaged just by name. That is for Consumer Reports to blather about. Anyway no hard feelings, what data and experiences are available to add to the consideration. Would be interested in European delivery industry reports.

I paid $77.000 total for the newest 2016-2 59G 6 weeks ago. Van has all options including the premium outside molding and bike rack on the back & Kajak rack on the roof. Also has the 100W solar panel and the 2 coach batteries and the new Truma (which is great as now you can heat your water on LP). I am in the Pacific NW.

OK, here's some quotes """""".
one thing that kills the 59K for me is only two seats, no belts on the couch/beds? seems impractical as a general vehicle.
