Your RV journey is evolving, whether you’re upgrading to your dream RV, downsizing to a more agile RV or perhaps pausing from the RV lifestyle altogether. Regardless of what your next step will be, you may be deciding if it would be more beneficial to work with a dealer or a private party.
If you are purchasing another RV or discontinuing RV ownership entirely you’ll want to consider the below.
Marketing and Selling Your Old RV
When you are selling your RV, you must figure out the best way to find a qualified buyer to pay the right price for your RV. Things to consider include: How much time and money will you spend to get your RV in front of the right people? Do you want to deal with the countless emails, phone calls, in-person showings that come with this process? How are you going to differentiate your RV from similar ones?
You may find it easiest to market your RV to a local buyer by parking it somewhere with a “For Sale” sign. But how long will it take to sell your RV to a local buyer just hoping they will drive by?
When you work with Lichtsinn RV, we take care of the marketing and selling of your RV. You can drive off behind the wheel of your new RV or sell your RV for cash.
If you will be purchasing another RV, consider the following advantages of working with a dealer.
Delay to Purchase Your New RV
The process of selling your RV is like real estate, it is time consuming and could take months. Are you willing to put your travel plans on hold or potentially lose the opportunity to purchase your dream RV? When you trade in your RV at Lichtsinn RV, you do not have to put your plans on hold or risk losing the perfect RV for you.
Tax Benefits for Working with a Dealer
In most states, trading in an RV provides a tax credit, meaning you only pay sales tax on the difference between the price of your new rv and the given amount of your trade-in.
Example:
Sale Price: $100,000.00
Trade Allowance: $60,000.00
Difference: $40,000.00
In this example the guest would only pay tax on $40,000.00 instead of the full $100,000.00 Purchase price. *Each state is different, and you will want to look into the rules of the state where you will be licensing your RV.
Paper Work
When you work with Lichtsinn RV, we take care of the all the paperwork, titles and payoffs. You will not have to worry about whether you have all the paper work in place necessary to sell your RV. When you sell your RV or trade-in your RV, we handle everything from pick up to title work to paying off any loans and you can put your trade allowance towards your dream RV or cash if you will be selling your RV altogether.
