Joe -
You must be sure you know what you mean by "standard options". That's kind of an oxymoron.
TM had lots of standard features, and very few options. Most of the things you find in NADA's Option Checkoff List are actually standard features, and so you must not check the option box for each one, or you will double-count them. For example, the furnace is not an option, the DSI water heater is not an option, the scissor jacks are not an option, the refrig is not an option - they are all standard.
Among the very few true TM options, an even smaller number have any real affect on the NADA bottom line. I think of the air conditioner and the swing hitch as examples of true options that affect the bottom line. Others, like the TV antenna, are true options, but make virtually no difference in the bottom line.
So use the guide carefully.
