appraisal of motorhome

[Bill Garamella]

" I would only make an effort to prove that the dealer knowlingly made the
change and
demand a refund with cost or an amount that would have adjusted your purchase
decision
baced on the odometer reading. Its about the damage the odometer made on YOUR
actual
purchase decision."

I could not agree more. Although I am nor motor-home appraiser, I have a
background in
commercial real estate appraisal. An appraisal is an opinion of value.
Quantifying the
difference in value between coaches with 25,000 and 50,000 miles could be easily
contested given all the other variables that play into an appraisal.

If this dealer misrepresented the vehicle and you can prove it, his license and
perhaps more
importantly, reputation are at risk(assuming he needs these to conduct
business). Hold his
hand to the fire and he will likely settle to keep it quiet. If not, make a lot
of noise! Be
prepared to support you position.
