If you love the freedom to travel where you want, when you want, and the ability to explore the country in the comfort of your own home, you can't beat an RV. But buying a new motor home or trailer costs much more than many travelers can afford. And if you are looking for an RV for sale by owner, you might want to think again. There are downsides to buying an RV from a private owner. And there are better options for saving money.
Here are some points to consider when buying privately.
Why is the RV for Sale?
Sometimes the reasons are financial but often, the seller is getting rid of the vehicle because of mechanical issues. In any case, the buyer wants to find the lowest price while the seller hopes to make the most profit. So chances are, somebody will go home disappointed.
Can You Trust Your Seller?
Although many private owners are honest about their vehicle's condition, some are not. Nobody wants to get home and find any unpleasant surprises.
Auctions can provide a selection comparable to RVs for sale by owner but at a fraction of the cost.
When you research places to buy an RV, make sure to include auctions on your list. You will be surprised at the quality of some vehicles and the low prices that are available.
Today, banks are repossessing many RV's and government agencies like FEMA have surplus units. Due to the size of most of these vehicles, they are very expensive for a financial institution to hold onto. FEMA, for example, has 120,000 campers currently stored in a field in Hope, Kansas. So many are sold to convert them into cash to reinvest and defray costs.
The seller's need means that buyers can take advantage of lower demand and lower prices. Most buyers aren't aware of auctions (would you know where to find one?) leaving less competition to bid on your favorite vehicle. So it's a good time to explore auctions and bid on exciting vehicles at much lower prices.
Here's what you need to do
Join a website that will help you find these auctions. It's inexpensive and you can often find dozens or even hundreds of auctions in your region. You can often save thousands, especially if you're flexible on the model. Opening bids often start as low as $100.
So there's ample reason to skip those RVs for sale by owner and buy your dream RV at auction at a much lower price.
