Thinking About New RV-How Much Should I Sell Old RV For???

[rickymac]

I am thinking about purchasing a new RV, downsizing actually. What do y'all think I should/could sell my old RV for in today's market.


2014 Thor Windsport 34F
68,000 miles
Runs great, good tires
Some decals starting to deteriorate.
Normal accessories:
Washer/Dyer
Sat Dish
Outdoor kitchen
King size bed


I appreciate any recommendations.

Good luck!
It would be tough for us to put a price on your RV. We don't live in your area; so it's tough to judge what the market will bear.
If you put it on RV Trader: you could look around in there, and see what similar rigs are bringing...

Without meaning to sound flip or condescending, I think you need to do your own research. There are just too many variables for anyone to offer any meaningful advice. It depends on the condition, cleanliness, maintenance records, local market/competition, how you intend to advertise or market it, how much of a hurry you are in and other things. You can start with the NADA listed value, a close review of the RV sales websites and maybe some similar listings at consignment dealers. Notwithstanding the COVID market February might not be the best time. Then again....it might be! Good luck in your sales and shopping adventures. I hope you are able to get it all done and be ready for a new travel season in a few months.

Good luck with finding the perfect new home for it!
...And with finding yourself a new RV!

Consignment lot is probably the answer to you selling for top dollar and ease.

Cut those rv trader prices in half due to the miles on your rv.
If you're happy with that, sell it to anyone offering more.
Remember how we all talk about 30% off retail for a new purchase?
You'll be expecting such a discount when you buy yours, your buyer will be expecting the same.
And
If they're making payments, the lesser months offered on your older vehicle might make the payments close to the same as a new model with extended terms...and a warranty.


Make life easy, go to a dealer and dump it if you don't need to wring every penny out if it.
When dealing with

I'm about to get disability backpay.

My moms sick and shes leaving the house to me in her will

The credit union says only one bankruptcy is their rule but I'm applying at bofa

When i get my stimulus check

My kid is about to graduate from medical school

I have a 61 ford falcon in parts spread across 4 counties. I'll get $100,000 for it because Morey Amsterdams maids mom owned it

(Paraphrasing from When I sold the bennington pontoon boat and TWENTY other vehicles)

You'll be glad to take whatever the dealer offers you.

It isnt easy or fun or enlightened to expect someone interested in an older rv to cough up the bucks.

We've decided it would be easier for us to give away our 2012 king ranch than deal, in-person, with those who'd want one.

This isn't intended as cynicism.
It's only fact based on experience.

But:
We bought our rv used, paid what he wanted with a 20 minute bank transfer, and thought so much if that family we wish he were a nephew.
But it was a diamond, not a relative high mile vehicle someone is settling for.

Good luck.
Ask us about the decals and how a $500 detail job will get you a quicker and better deal, ask us about receipts and their importance in a sale, ask us about cashiers checks.
Price? Not so much a good thing to ask as it is to explore your area for SOLD, not asking, units.

We're here to help, no matter Sweet Nell or Dick Dastardly in demeanor.

This is a lot of words. I typed is so there would be a bit of REAL-LIFE presented.

I agree with ducksface on this one, trade it in when you get the new rv. Dealers go by nada price so I would not take less than the low average of 48k. Anything more than that is gravy.
