Get Financing2017 Tiffin Motorhome Sold By A Private Seller In 1 Month With An Editorial Ad
“We had a wonderful time with it,” said the former owner of a 2017 Tiffin Allegro Breeze 32BR Class A motorhome in Monterey, California. “We went on a lot of trips of five, six weeks, all along the West Coast, from Arizona to New Mexico to Colorado to Wyoming and all the way west. So, no complaints. We had a lotta, lotta fun times with the grandkids and everybody.”
When it came time to sell the diesel-powered RV with 34,800 miles, the owner turned to RVUniverse, the go-to platform for RV buyers nationwide. As he soon discovered, the platform is ideal for individual, private sellers as well as RV dealers.
Price It To Sell
First, the seller contacted RVUniverse to find out how much his 2017 Tiffin was worth. The motorhome had a 275-horsepower Cummins diesel engine, a 6-kW generator with low hours, 1-year-old Michelin tires with 4,000 miles, a residential refrigerator, several TVs, an exterior entertainment center, and much more. The owner had kept the RV ship-shape and waxed it twice a year.
RVUniverse sales representative Jared Coffey ran a valuation for the Tiffin on the Value Insight Portal (VIP.RVUniverse.com). “It helped,” said the seller. “It definitely helped. It gave me an idea,” of the motorhome’s value. He followed up by doing “a lot of other homework,” and canvassing four or five shops and knowledgeable individuals, “so when I set the price, I knew that it was reasonable and fair.”
Show Off Your RV With An Editorial Ad
The seller wanted a quick sale, but he didn’t want to consign it with a dealership. Instead, he chose a spacious, full-page editorial ad in the Western edition of RVUniverse magazine, which is one of the best options for getting buyers' attention in print.
Editorial ads are available in 2-page, full-page, and half-page sizes with extra space for RV photos and a list of features and selling points. Better still, editorial ads come with a premium listing online for even greater exposure. Premium listings on RVUniverse.com rank at the top of their category and have a prominent, dark blue border.
Enthusiastic Buyer Response
The RVUniverse editorial ad and premium listing worked very well, and the seller’s phone started to ring in the first week. One of the potential buyers for the 2017 Tiffin called five times. Soon, an earnest RV dealer contacted the seller for more information and a walkthrough video.
“They saw my pictures,” said the seller. “I walked around (the Tiffin) with the video camera and sent it to them, and they said, ‘This thing’s clean as a whistle!’”
The dealer bought the RV sight unseen, except for the photos in its premium listing online. “And when the guy picked it up, before he would say, ‘Let’s sign here, and the money’s in the bank,’ he called them and said, ‘Hey, this thing’s really clean, really good.’ No questions asked.”
Once all the paperwork was in order, the 2017 Tiffin sold in its first month for about $103,000. “It was quick!”
