Closed the sale of my 4 year old Winnebago yesterday, what a relief !

Had set up transaction on new coach with my dealer for trade-in at wholesale book(best I could do at 3 different dealers) but he said if I could sell it while new coach was on order, then no problem. As it turns out, I did MUCH BETTER selling it myself. With some give and take, finally settled on price approx. 30% over wholesale. Guess that proves the RV lifestyle is still popular even in a depressed economic state like Michigan.

New coach due to be in my hands week of 8/10 - excited to get it !!!!!

Sweet!!!!!! The two sofas is the best. We have a 3202 and just love that floor plan. The 3647 is the only upgrade I would ever consider.

Thanks for the comment. Traded out the curb side sofa for Euro-Recliner and table. DW and I didn't see the need for two couches. Our biggest draw to this floorplan was King bed and space for stacked washer and dryer - two musts when we were looking.

Our local Newmar dealer - Midway RV Center, has been a joy to work with so far. No pressure and willing to negotiate. They are a long time individual owned business, not a multi-location huge dealership, which translates to personal service and attention, not treatment as a number on a contract.

I highly recommend Midway !!!

Congrats on your new coach. Have to second the comment on Midway. Purchased our new to us Newmar last October. Midway is one professional organization, NO pressure of any kind. Would recommend them to anyone.
Again congrats and enjoy that new ride. We sure do like ours.
