Maybe.  Most here are fairly insulated to the falling value of a dollar.

You need more of them to buy familiar things every day. 

Rare older quality things may well be more expensive to buy in retail condition.

The garaged 90% plus condition would be a plus to me.

I always paid more than fair for used garaged coaches.

I assume the seller will entertain offers?

Grand villas and Foretravels maybe not as much but nice unicoaches of known good years may well be a premium item.

I have had a few interested people ask me if our u320 is available. The 40' 320's seem somewhat rare?

Old foretravel top salesman who owns encore mentioned his personal interest to me in a 97-99 u320.

I think at least half of the coaches Foretravel made during 97-2000 were 40' U320. It was their most popular seller and they made about 100 each year. Of course mid-entry was rare.

I think the 36' 1996 U295 in town was just sold at that "$15k less" price.  Two years newer, four feet longer, 25k less miles should add a little value?

With veryfiable maintenance records and garage kept (excellent fiber glass & decals) with a good grade on the inspection report, this unit may be worth about the $65 to $67 thousand range.  I definitely would look at this unit myself if I needed a 40 foot coach.

Good looking coach.  Same floor plan as our 97 U320. 

QUESTION:  In the photos posted on Craigslist, the image of the dashboard shows a carpeted cover.  I WOULD LIKE ONE exactly like it and in that color.  Do any of you recognize it as a specific make or manufacturer?
