I purchased a new MH because it came with a new warranty. I was concerned about used motorhomes without a manufacture warranty. I am too new to know when I'm getting an excellent deal or a rip off. I read horror stories of delamination found after the sale. Extended warranties that had small print. Extended warranties that were no good. etc.. Also, negotiating a new price was getting real close to used retail on many. Even now, my used NADA price is not too far from what I paid. Knowing first, to take off 25-30% off the MSRP as your starting negoiating point. RV sales is a racket. Nobody ever said it was a good investment. Each one has their own reason for buying something way over-priced that only decreases in value. Rip Rip Rip. After having owned two MH's, I have a better understanding of what to look for. In the end, it's still a loss and a high risk, high ticket purchase item. I never saw high end, barely used motorhomes at 1/3 the retail price.
If there was a one year old $500,000.00 MH for sale at $150k, I would be very suspicious.
