used prices for LDs December 08, 2004, 04:01:41 pm Yahoo Message Number: 47488Hi everyone--Thank you for this wonderful list. I'm shopping right now for a used 22 foot LD. I appreciate the info in the "Files" section regarding used prices as a percentage of new prices. How were these percentages arrived at?I'm just wondering because the NADA prices--even retail ones--are substantially less than what this list says. I know LDs are a great product...but isn't it their business at NADA to track actual prices?For example, for 1992 models, NADA quotes retail prices to be $11- 12K, while in the list posted here, prices are $21-24K. That's a big difference.Enlightenment is appreciated. Thank you all.Susan

I looked almost a year to find my first Lazy Daze. It was a 22 ft Twin/King and I did not argue about the price. When I ordered an new Lazy Daze this year the person who purchased my used Lazy Daze did not argue about my price. There were 3 people behing him waiting to see if he would back out.Jo

Basically it is a fit to reported asking prices for LDs based on two sets of collected data. No provision was made for accessories/improvements or condition. The surprising thing was that a good fit to an exponential decay of price with time resulted. This exponential curve was used to generate the tables.HTHBarry 2001 RB TX.
