Hi. My name is pearl and I've been lurking and reading for awhile. My husband and I are approaching retirement age, so it's just the two of us. (The grandkids are too young to bring with as yet) I'm really glad I found this forum since we are about to take our first step into the RV world. We've been haunting RV shows for the past year trying to find what's out there and what we like. However, new is just way too pricey for us. Our Ford Expedition can tow an ultra-lite and we have been looking at the used travel trailer market so that we don't blow the bankroll on our first RV (just in case it ends up as our Last RV because the lifestyle doesn't work for us.) We are about to look at a used 2010 Edge M21, a private sale, and the prices I have found online range from 10k all the way up to 20k for the same used model all supposedly in good condition. I just don't get why there would be such a variation in price. Could anyone tell me what would be a fair price range for that model in good condition? If we purchase, we would be the third owners since the present owner purchased it used from a dealer. The trailer has been sitting, unused, in a backyard for the past nine months through heavy Pa snows and it supposedly was used three or four times in the year prior to that. Are there any tips or warnings about what to look for in that particular model or vintage? Would we be within the bounds if we asked the owners to bring it to a shop for inspection prior to purchase, which we would pay for? Any recommendations regarding extended warranty? How would we find out what the mileage is on it? Any advice that you can offer to keep us from stepping into "stupid fool" territory would be greatly appreciated.
If all goes well we would love to be road-ready by spring.
Thanks in advance,
Pearl
