I think it’s really difficult to put too fine of a point on trade in negotiations. We recently traded our 26 foot 2017 Freedom Elite with 8,000 miles on a new 2017 Winnebago Vista. We paid about $54000 for the FE and the paperwork says we got $48,000 in trade. Sounds all well and good but of course then I couldn’t get the price of the Vista any lower than 22% off MSRP. 30% would be about an additional $10,000 so presumably I “really” got maybe $35,000 - $38,000 in trade. I like it better this way because there is less sales tax. It is what it is though.
The really interesting thing is that CW initially listed our old FE on their website for $72,000! It was later lowered to $59,000 but it’s still way more than we paid for it new. Go figure?!
