I am struggling with TM pricing. It seems like the dealers are selling for more reasonable prices than private parties. With cars it's always the other way around. So when I look up a TM on NADA and it gives me an "average retail" and a "low retail", I'm thinking this is what a retail dealer would ask. Private party should be a little lower. I know TMs are kind of a niche market, and they hold their value better than some other type travel trailers, but I agree that prices being asked are too high for the model year. I can NOT afford to overpay. This is not a neccessity like a car--I can live without a camper. It's hard to pay 10K for a 10 yr old TM when I can get a brand new entry level bunkhouse for that price. So tempting to go that route--we just don't want to tow a full height trailer.
