kencol Junior Member Join Date: May 2016 Posts: 3 | 5th Wheel Trade In Value I have the Nada Guide low and average retail value. Is there any way I can estimate from that what my 5th wheel trade-in value might be? |

Probably about 60% of average retail, but you need to be looking at the real NADA book, the fee version rather than the online freebie. The online version is just estimated depreciation from MSRP and does not take market factors into account. And the fee version will show trade-in values as well as retail. Your local Library may have a copy, but it isn't hugely expensive to buy your own and its handy if you are shopping. One edition of the RV guide is $69. Note that the dealer will quote a much higher trade-in value in most cases, but that will include a substantial discount off the MSRP of a new one, or a modest discount if a used one. However, you could have obtained the same discount without a trade, so it's just a fiction to make you happy. If you want to see what they are really offering for your trade, negotiate a no-trade price first and then ask about a trading yours in. Then you can see what it is really worth. I suggest you be sitting down when you learn that. And have the smelling salts handy as well. __________________ |

Fleetwood Owners Club Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: northern IL Posts: 2,557 | There is a glut of used fifth wheels right now. We are typically taking them in trade at roughly 50 to 60% of nada trade value which is substantially lower than the consumer version of the nada book and still having a problem selling used fifth wheels. The bottom has dropped out of them but is slowly coming back. __________________ |

As Gary pointed out above, market demand plays a big role in the trade or sale price. On the flip side, class A DP's under 40' move fast if in decent shape. __________________ |
