If you could be an avid RV'er called by the open road, but you don't like how wide the new RVs make you open your wallet, you may be considering RVs for sale by owner. That can be disillusioning for a lot of reasons, not the least being the uncertainty of buying from someone you don't know.
When buying from a private party, you can never be truly sure of the condition of the vehicle. And even if the seller is being completely honest about the shape the RV is in, he still is motivated to bargain for the highest possible price. There is good news, though. There are other options available.
For the price-conscious buyer, auctions provide a less well-known but more profitable way to buy an RV than buying RVs for sale by owner.
Why are auctions such a good deal?
When a family encounters a financial emergency, the luxury items are the first to go. The financial institutions that reclaim RVs often want to convert their assets into cash to reinvest. They also want to avoid the exorbitant cost of storing repossessed vehicles. Actions are a common way for the institutions to liquidate inventory they don't want to hold.
Auctions are often less visible than sales in classic advertisements like the classifieds or Craigslist. Therefore, many buyers are unaware of the incredible deals that are available. Fewer buyers often mean fewer competitors which can translate into lower prices.
For the buyer, this provides an opportunity to acquire a quality trailer or motor home at a fraction of the market value.
How to take advantage of these deals
Before looking at RV's for sale by owner, find out what auctions are available. There are websites with staffs that research auctions from a large variety of sources around the country and even in foreign countries. RVs are sold by federal, state, and municipal governments as well as Sheriffs and Marshall's Offices, and lending organizations. You'll find dozens and sometimes even hundreds of auctions being held in your region.
A small membership fee to one of these auction websites can make you part of a little-known group that save thousands over RVs for sale by owner.
