Here's what I'm talking about.. Scroll down to the M380 or search for Wanderlodge.

Here's someone who knows what his coach is worth. How many M380's came off the line? How suitable is the coach to today's environment? How good is the maneuverability and the fuel mileage? How many on the market at a given time? Owners who have them aren't letting them go cheap! Right on! Smile

So, should we throwout NADA so we can sell M380's cheaper?

RE: '06 M380 at Parliament
Here's another M380 priced for sale properly. I posted this on both WOG & WAGU a while back. But it hasn't sold. This appears to be a very nice bus and probably worth NADA high retail around $130K.
NADA "Low Retail" price level for an '04 M380 is too low at $105K. The owners need to quit selling them at NADA "Low Retail" or less and try to keep the prices closer to NADA "Average Retail". This '04's NADA "Average Retail" is $126,800.

Chuck,

Something I constantly hear in the Blue Bird Community but I never hear on any of the other Luxury Coach boards, (newellgurus, prevostcommunity, prevostownersgroup, foreforums included) is that a coach is priced too high, or the coach isn't worth it, or the market won't bear it. Never in the Prevost world do you hear this. I can probably only speak for the Prevost folks, so my thoughts are mostly everyone in the Prevost community understands that condition, records, up-to-date maintenance, and upgrades can easily swing the price of a coach $50K or more in either direction, maybe $75K. I'll never understand the average wanderlodge owner's predilection with critiquing a site-unseen coach and determining its value without knowing anything about the coach. Many of us, not you Chuck, are very quick to discount an asking price of a Wanderlodge with very few if any facts at our fingertips. My perception is the other brands tend to support prices while many of us tend to do the opposite. Go figure? Ok, my rant for the day! Smile
