Re: 2005 26.5 for sale Reply #2 – March 20, 2017, 06:28:32 pm Just a few observations: overpriced by about $12-15,000.00, no close-up/detail photos of the exterior or roof, no photos of the bath area, a listing that states that it's an "8 cylinder" (if the owner doesn't know the engine size....?), and a 12 - year-old rig with 21,000 miles, i.e., driven about 1750 miles per year (if averaged). Going only by what the listing states (and not saying that the rig is not a good deal, but), anyone considering it might want to check out the condition very carefully. As ever, YMMV. 1 Likes
Re: 2005 26.5 for sale Reply #3 – March 20, 2017, 06:43:56 pm Totally agree Joan...Mine's a '04 and is not nearly as oxidized as that one. Surely it's the Triton V-10! I'd bet it's been sitting idle for long periods. Too bad this wasn't listed earlier, a lot of folks at the MB GTG would have probably wanted to scope this out. 1 Likes

Re: 2005 26.5 for sale Reply #5 – March 21, 2017, 11:52:10 am Overpricing of an RV consigned to a dealer is SOP; obviously, the dealer is looking for the greatest amount of profit and the least amount of return to the consigner/owner that can be negotiated. From various motives, some private owners try similar tactics, and some are successful at selling even a beater rig at an inflated price because not all buyers do the necessary homework to avoid getting skinned. This dealer might want to set the hook (is the sun out in Poulsbo yet!? ) and do a "faux sale", i.e., put a big slash through the current asking price, and trumpet a lower price (but still well over a realistic number), larger and in a different color, polish the thing to the max, move the rig to a space away from others to showcase it, list every positive feature on visible, well-placed signs around the rig, and offer a few buyer "perks" (that cost little or nothing but sound good!); a smooth-talking salesperson with a "sincere" demeanor who can sell the "fun lifestyle potential" while minimizing the rig's warts could help a sale, too.

As ever, YMMV.Well, I never said it was a good deal, just that it only had 21,000 miles! So Joan, in your opinion, what would be an acceptable yearly average for mileage?
