please Help with pricing on 1987 PT 38 - 8v92 silver edition

[Tom Warner]

Dick/Mary there may be something that you have overlooked. Selling a
1981 FC31 is one thing but altogether different for a 1987
PT38/.39/40. The problem is cash. Few banks or credit unions will
finance a motorhome now that is over 15 years old, that means only
1990 and above. So you are looking for the most part for someone that
has the cash to buy it. I believe that is one of the reasons the
FC31/33/35 sell so well. They are in a price range that people may
have the cash to buy them. How many people do you know that have
$69,000 cash plus the tax, license and insurance? Look at the BB
that have been on the market for over a year and even 2-3 years. I
just saw a 1986 PT40 sell for $50,000. RV trader has a 1985 PT40 for
$49,795, 1986 PT38 for $60,000. Just my opinion from watching the
sales. The problem with setting the price to high for the market is
that potential buyers will overlook it when comparing the coaches I just noted.
