86 PT38 for sale

[Joyce and Richard Hayden]

I agree with a lot of what was said on this subject, but I also hear a bit about what Greg was proposing.At least Ithink I do. I believe he's saying, if you want to sell your RV at above market price (or at it) you might want to consider sweetening thedeal a little by offering some kind of warranty against future engine or tranny problems for up to 6 months. In other words, ifa bus your age is going for 75K and you are asking 80K you might want tooffer a $5000 Warranty against any of those two problems withina 6 month time frame. Even if you had to pay it you'd still be getting a good price for your RV and would also be assuring the buyer that you believe your bus is invery goodshape. If the buyer wanted to negotiate with you for a lower price then I would think that the warranty would be the first thing to go. Just my thought and 2 cents worth...

In my opinion, all extended warranty's are bad. They're just insurance. And all insurance is bad. It's all just gambling. Anytime you buy ins you're just betting against the house. The ins company knows what they're doing, they're not stupid. It's a simple mathematical game of odds. They always win in the long term. Have you ever seen an ins building? `Hundreds of millions of dollars, and all paid for. Once you've paid your premiums, and then have a need, you have to beg them to help you, only to find another little clause that exempts their responsibilities again. It's always better to keep our money in the bank, growing. Then have the money to fix what we want, when we want, how we want. Just my 2 cents worth of a rant!
