Low price is $28,000 and dealer lists it as $30,000. I'd bet he paid about $18-20,000 to the prior owner either in trade or cash. So, I'd start at $23,000 depending on what you find needing fixed or repaired. Good luck
I'd bet on that 18K to 20K also.
Mr. Cramden is right on. RV's as a rule, sell new for nowhere close to MSRP which is a pie in the sky figure anyway and, the depreciation curve on a new RV is pretty steep so I'd offer a low ball price as well.
We are in the off season anyway and most dealers want to move stale stock.
Get in there and do what I PM'd you about and if it passes muster, still offer a low price and see what happens. Dealers 'deal'. Thats what the business is all about.
