Looking at ordering a new one but went and looked at a 2010 33c Sightseer . The savings would be around 28,000 dollars to get the used one but I have been trying to sell my 2003 30 B Sightseer since last fall with no luck. The new one would have full body paint 80 gallon gas tank and the 22.5 tires.The used one only has 1,500 miles on it and 4 months till its first birthday. Would you keep lowering the price on the 2003 till it is sold or just trade it in .

Is that $28,000 dollars differnce between the used and new the price between the two coaches and then you deduct your trade in, or does it include your trade in? A big difference.
Also the 33c Sightseer does not show 22.5 tires as an option. that option starts at the 35 foot model.
did your dealer work a deal for you with the factory?
I love the 33c floorplan, and was camped next to one a few weeks ago and the owner loved it.

List 136,000 dollars dealer came down to 108,500 giving me 37,500 for my 2003 Sightseer 30B. The used one could be bought for 80,000 dollars and 5,600 tax for a difference of 22,000 dollars Trade in of 37,500 - 108,500 = 70,500 tax 7% is 4,935 dollars 75,435 dollars plus my pay off The dealer is special ordering the coach for me from Winnie and said the 22.5 tires was a 900 dollar option but I will ask him for sure next time I call him Thanks for the quick post.

Looks like you have worked out a good deal. He is offering you above average nada retail for your trade in plus a decent discount.
The cost difference between a 2011 coach vs a 2010 down the road will return some of the $ difference also fullbody paint value alone if you were to have it done is worth $10,000 or so.
You mentioned in another forum that the used one had a seating arrangement that you would order differently also.
Having one that is exactly what you want in the colors you want sure can be attractive.
Either way you will have a fine coach and $28,000 can buy a lot of gas.
Good luck to you and enjoy.

Thanks again for all your help the used one has a average price of 97,000 and low of 80,000 dollars. So if I bought the used one for 86,500 with tax I would be buying the 2010 for close to 10,000 under the average price. Down the road if I wanted to trade it in I should be in a better place as far as trade in. Also letting the first guy loose the 22,500 when he drove off the lot would be nice. I am glade I have time to think this one out. Thanks again
