The NADA guide is a good place to start; however the condition of the unit and the timing of your purchase are important factors. I looked at a number of units and found that there are older units in much better shape than newer ones.

I also decided to wait for the off season to buy mine. When people are trying to pay for Christmas or worried about there tax liability, it is a good time to buy anything used. So when I bought my 2007 2720 last winter, the seller had it up for $14K, but was in need of cash flow, so he accepted my $10K bid. It was in better shape than the 2010 that I had looked at three weeks earlier that the seller wanted $19.5K for.
