Considering selling my 2001 Alpine 34FDDS. With my 2 boys in sports our trips have been fewer and far between. I’ve owned it a little over a year and bought it off the original owners. [Moderator Edit] Overall this coach has been great just don’t see a lot of use coming up with my boys sports. I know there’s a lot of knowledge on this site with these coach so I am wondering what to list it for. I plan on listing it in the next week or so.

It’s worth what someone will give at that age ! My best guess and it’s just a guess ! 28 to 35 thousand ! Like I said it’s just a guess without seeing it in person !

The 34' is a fairly rare model of Alpine. Lots of folks desire shorter DP's, so ask what you think someone would be willing to pay. So how do you arrive at that number? Good question. I'd start somewhere near your break even point, including maintenance and improvements, and see what happens. Without seeing it in person I'd guess somewhere in the high 40's to mid 50's...or more based on recent listings. I could be way off, don't know. Another possible strategy would be to get an appraisal, but those can be all over the place.
Ask a bit more than you think it's worth and leave some negotiation wiggle room.
Good luck with your sale.

I would highly recommend that you contact these guys. I believe it will give you the single best expert pricing opinion. The NADA (Now JD Powers) numbers are woefully inaccurate and with a true appraisal in hand, you will be able to most forcefully negotiate your position.

Good luck with the sale, the 34 is one of the most desirable models out there, and with all the things you have done, it looks like the only thing left to do (if someone wanted to) is updating the interior (Floors, etc).

FWIW, a local dealer's salesman said their inventory is about 1/2 the usual; the market being rather strong here in N. AZ. GLWS

What did you pay for it last year?

Good morning
I'm a little late to the post,but your coach is a desirable year low mileage in very good condition. I own a 2001 as well and if I was going to sell mine, I would total up what I have into it and add some for my sweat equity and go from their. Now that said that doesn't mean that's what you'll get but at least you'll know where you're at and give you a good starting price.These things are all over the board as far as price, and each coach is very different as to how it's been cared for. So don't be afraid to set your price you can always drop down.
