Used RV Buying Tips

Recreational vehicle used

Buying a used RV can be a great bargain and investment. If you take the time to shop carefully, solidify good financing, and purchase an extended warranty, you will be extremely satisfied with your used RV buy. Be educated before making the used RV purchase, do research on all of the options available to you, and then make a wise decision based on the facts you have learned.

The most appealing factor in buying a used RV is the price. For one, there is no depreciation factor. Depreciation is the dollar amount lost when a brand new recreational vehicle drives off of the dealer’s lot. A used RV is a bargain, especially if it is less than 18 months old. An used RV model over 3 years old may be a good deal, you may have issues financing it though.

What Kind Of Used RV Do You Want To Buy?

Do you want a motor coach, a class A, or a towable trailer? Think about what your RVing lifestyle will be. There is a plethora of information on the internet regarding the different make and models. Ask your friends, or go to an RV dealer to see the different kinds available to you.

Use A Mechanic

Before making a purchase on a used recreational vehicle, have it checked out fully by a professional mechanic who has a specialty in RVs. If you decide to finance through a bank or lender, the lender may require this before granting you the monies. If there are major repairs to be made, ask the dealer if you can work the cost of repair into the purchase price.

Financing Options

There are several routes to take when financing a used motor home. It is easy for people to do with both bad and good credit scores. You can use a neighborhood bank, a credit union, online, or the RV dealership. Make sure you do some cost comparison to ensure you find the best deal.

Buy An Extended Warranty

If you have the option to buy an extended warranty on your used motor home purchase, it is recommended that you invest in doing so. This will help you financially down the road, as well as protect you when driving and have an unexpected mechanical breakdown.

Once you assess your personal situation and do the proper research, you will find a used recreational vehicle may be just the perfect RV investment for you and your RVing lifestyle.
