Hi Jim and Linda.

Sorry to report, but in today's market $245k is actually a very good price, Maybe high even. I would seriously think a realistic value would be $199k.

Prices have dropped at least 30% in the last 3 months. They will never go back up either. Well, maybe in 75 years when we have had a pile of inflation and your coach becomes a collectors item with historical merit ( those were the days of opulence and cheap diesel available at every freeway offramp). You can not go by historical sales prices, because almost nothing has sold recently.

Like Jon said, nobody with cash is spending it because everybody thinks they can get the same coach even cheaper next month. Most can not get financing because lenders have no cash and are gunshy. And most people's houses have tanked in value so they can no longer get a home equity loan to buy a bus with, and which they never really expected to pay back because the house was supposed to keep rising in value.

Don't take this personally, the prices of all RV's , boats, vacation homes, airplanes, used cars, etc have all done the same. It is time for a reality check. And you can also see that new vehicles are not selling either. New ones are not cheaper yet because the cost of manufacture has not gone down, so all the factories are laying off people, cutting back on production, or closing down. Many people who might have bought a new one say 'gee whiz, for half the cost of new I can buy one a year or two old'. And a coach like yours, now 9 years old, well, it just took a giant depreciation.

The value of our coaches is in the use and enjoyment of them, not in the resale value. If you buy it, it only makes sense to own it for a very long time and derive the value from it's use.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is the real world today.
