used lazy daze February 26, 2012, 12:45:58 am Yahoo Message Number: 128802Hi guys, I'm about to go negotiate for a 2008 Lazy daze 24ft with rear twin beds with 2800miles with V8 engine. No options Dealer asking 60K. obviously, this is way too much. NADA price 46k-52K I like the fact that it has very low miles. What should my top price be? any input would be greatly appreciated.

NADA prices are usually lower than what LDs in good shape usually sell for. The pricing estimator in the files section gives a price closer to $55,000. That is a very low mileage for a 4 year old rig.Art

However, one apparently has to call the factory to find out the *actual cost* of the optional V-10 *and* every other option; unlike past years, the prices of options are no longer listed on the LD website. At least, I didn't find any price information except the "base" price and the "manufacturer's suggested retail price". (Who knows WHAT *that* means!?) LD used to be up front with option costs, i.e., the price of each option was listed on the website; I have no idea why that's no longer the case.Joan
Re: used lazy daze Reply #4 – February 27, 2012, 11:05:25 am Yahoo Message Number: 128827Currently for the 2012 model year the V10 option is $1050. 24' models only.

Re: used lazy daze Reply #5 – February 27, 2012, 12:01:22 pm Yahoo Message Number: 128830Joan the List price of the V10 option isn't a valid criteria for a used vehicle. Just like NADA isn't valid for a used LD. The V8 is so undesirable for the Class C that the last time I talked to Tod LD didn't recomend it. The difference between the 5.4 and the 6.8 is night and day in performance. And is unlikely that the 5.4 would get better mileage in a vehicle of this size in most driving conditions...Garry

Ford made the 5.4L V-8 the *standard* engine in the E450 cutaway motorhome chassis in 2008; since that model year, buyers of 24' LDs have had the option of having their rig built on the "stock" E450 cutaway chassis (5.4L V-8, 14050 gvwr) *or* the E450 with the 6.8 L V-10 and 14500 gvwr. As has been mentioned before during the course of this and related "engine size" threads, this document provides an overview of many of the changes which have taken place in Lazy Daze motorhomes over the years: http://www.andybaird.com/travels/LD-guide-web/changes.htm Joan
Re: used lazy daze Reply #9 – February 27, 2012, 05:47:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 128839In January when we were at the factory ordering a 24FD I asked Todd if there was any call for the V8. He said no. He only stocks the V10 chassis. If someone wanted a V8 he would have to order one. We still had to pay the $1K "option" cost:-)John '04 23.5FLQuote wrote: I think the only "options" are the V-10,http://www.andybaird.com/travels/LD-guide-web/changes.htmJoan

If you were buying from a knowledgeable owner you would be paying close to $60,000. If you can get it for NADA, good for you, but a knowledgeable owner would demand and get $55 to $60.
