Hi guys I am looking at a 36 foot 99 U320 non slide in great shape can you give me an idea of what would be the average selling price I know NADA is 41 just wondering how much above that is realistic and would I have a hard time reselling if I had to
Thanks for your insight
Nada requires adding every single piece of std equipment . That's how the banks want it.
Look at the this link:
1999 Foretravel U270 36' Priced at $ 69500 (http://mot-production.herokuapp.com/coachrv/foretravel/1999--u270--36--C1729A)
If that is the asking price for a 1999 36 ft U270, then a 1999 U320 could be expected to have a higher asking price, but might be sold for about the same as the asking price of a U270.
Stated another way, the best way I've found to determine a reasonable selling price is to shop around to see what the typical asking price is on somewhat similar items. I then determine how much less than the typical asking price I would be willing to pay.
Actually, the NADA guide adds for all OPTIONS, not every single piece of standard equipment.
1999 Foretravel Unicoach Series M-4000 U320 Prices, Values & Specs, 1999 (http://www.nadaguides.com/RVs/1999/Foretravel/M-4000-U320/3010512)
Option note: Only select options below that are in addition to standard equipment and equipment noted in the manufacturer or year notes show above. If you are uncertain of what came standard, please contact your manufacturer with your VIN.
Sorry maybe my info is not current as my Rv biz sales manager buddy who runs a large operation in quartzite every year for the snow birders mentioned Essex ,who was the major financier of used coaches, accepted every additional piece of equipment to judge loan values as of two years ago.
A value of $41k for the coach mentioned seems low to me unless you add the equipment?
I would be a quick buyer for a 99 36' 320 at $41k.
New tires, air bags, batteries and valve and injector adjusting and axle seals and drive train lubricants and alignment and brake servicing and aqua hot maintenance and koni shock adjustments can easily exceed $10k. Then exterior condition including the awnings, window treatment condition, gen servicing and its valve adjustment and compartment door lifts internal and external both need inspection.
Tv's, stereos, inverters, solar add more. Headlight condition, dash air maintenance
At least that has been my last two years worth of work.
All done any 99 model for $41k would be a deal.
Most would tell me "it never gave me no trouble". Means it needs everything after 15-17 years of careful abuse.
Kelly book for cars first page says "deduct for reconditioning" in other words if the car is showroom mint original condition other than the miles on the odometer than it might be worth what the book says minus market conditions.
But most here already know all this or will?
Bob,
Totally agree that lenders, particularly those paid on commission will even add standard equipment in order to make a deal/sell the paper. Same thing happened in the real estate market, the marine industry as well as automobile industry.
Really did our country a lot of good!
The bottom line is---- it's worth what the market will bare. Foretravels seem to exceed the book values for resale, since they have a reputation for quality and good service, plus, the manufacture is still in business. MOT says in good shape they sometimes bring 20% above book-- depends on the buyer. They beat the depreciation schedule better than almost any other brand.
I figure whatever Motorhomes of Texas is getting is about right. BTW, I don't need it but I think I'd buy that 99 right now for 41!

My guess would be somewhere in the 15-16% of the original 384,500 MSRP --- 57,500-61,500
But that could easily vary due to condition/modifications.
