Would you take this deal?

There is something to be said for completing a task and moving ahead with the next adventure.
Thank you for the update!

I've been negotiating real estate exchanges for many years.

My observations:
1) What would what you will be getting for your present cars have anything to do with this offer. That's not part of this deal.
2). Many of a good deal has been missed because of focusing on what the other guy is getting. Sure this is a good deal for the dealer or why would he do it?
3) Just use a Ben Franklin balance sheet and list all the plus' for you on one side, all the negatives on the other and it helps put the whole decision is an orderly fashion to consider.

Just look for a win win. I win you lose seldom works out that way.

Hope you find that helpful.

Best wishes.

How much is your time worth?
It is a real pain to sell any vehicle yourself, especially one over $100k.

Do the two new vehicles meet your need?

I have a 2021 Canyon Denali and absolutely love it.

If the two new vehicles meet your need, I would take the deal and not look back.

Get a real appraisal from these folks and work the deal using actual current market value.

I just bought a 2019 Fleetwood Southwind 37F with 16,600 miles for $139,999. I think what you are asking is legit. Are you not getting any action? I think your trade is close, but he needs to sweeten the deal at least for your $8600 gap.

Keep the Bounder

To answer your question: NO.

He is selling at retail MSRP and you are selling at wholesale. Unless you are in love with those two vehicles forget it. He is paying with maybe 85 cent dollars and you are getting nothing for that. Keep negotiating. You will learn how highly trained good auto sales executives are at keeping you off balance.

You might request a 0 deductible extended warranty on both cars with the free oil changes and tire rotation. Gives him the opportunity to put a little more skin in the game.

The first thing you need to do is get a better understanding of the value of your rig. Check nadaguides.com for your year, make, model, and mileage. Add all the extras, then condition. That should be your starting point.

Don't forget a chrome exhaust tip for both! 😜

First, check your lip for hook scars...

Value of an RV if you are selling is whatever you are willing to take for it.
Value of an RV if you are buying is whatever you are willing to pay for it.

You know the old saying: “A bird in the hand”.

[Solo_RV_Guy]

By page 4... the RV has been traded and the ending is happy.

What the car dealer paid for his trade offer is irrelevant. What the RV owner paid for the unit and improvements is irrelevant for the purpose of making this deal to the satisfaction of the parties involved.

Is the deal lopsided? Possibly, but unless the table is flashing "TILT", both parties seem satisfied with what they let go of, and what they acquired. There's probably a Ferengi Rule of Acquistion involved...

The OP saved a bunch of time and money not administering a private sale, got refunds on taxes and insurance, and a dealer bling package for the new vehicles. Gotta have the OnStar!

The real art of a deal is for both parties to walk away getting what they wanted.

counter with him paying the 8600 tax.
win-win
