Maybe he realizes he has a better coach than he thought. I have changes the prices of my coaches after using both and as I spend money on each coach. All coaches are different and can require upgrades and wear items. I spent well over 100K in upgrades and aged parts on the 96 and have spent 30k on the 04. Technology changes yearly and it takes time and dollars to keep a coach current. A coach is worth what a buyer will pay and a seller will take. The art of a deal is not having to deal on both sides. Newell's in my opinion is the best built coach in the industry and should hold its value no matter what age.

I agree Ron but it would make sense to remove the older ad would seem to make sense.. The cheaper price was what e was selling it for himself and now it's listed with a dealer for a more expensive price.

he is just covering the dealer profit. when i was shopping last there were quite a few coaches that were like that.
they would try to sell it on their own, then give up and have a dealer sell it for them and just mark up the price enough to cover the dealer fees and clear the same amount of money

"A coach is worth what a buyer will pay and a seller will take." When we sold our mpg trailer we checked NADA and other sources to get an idea of a fair price. When we took it in for consignment they asked what we wanted out of it, and I said they should tell me. They quoted a price somewhat above what I thought was fair, so I figured that there would be some room for negotiation and their cut. They sold it for the asking price! Sometimes having a dealer involved makes the buyer a little bit more comfortable, since the dealer has a reputation to protect.
