Tips on getting a good deal Find a motorhome for sale at a great price is not the only factor in getting a good deal. A good deal could be a combination of price, guarantee, after sales service and general sales advice. Get your priorities in order and you will be able to decide where on the best place to buy your motorhome. It might be from an established dealer or it might be from a private seller or it might even be from a police auction or a seized auction. You need to be very careful if you are considering purchasing at an auction. You will need to go along with an experienced mechanic as you will not be allowed to test drive any of the vehicles. It is also a good idea to go with an experienced RVer too as they can cast an extra eye over some of the finer points that might escape you. Make notes of anything that needs replacing or repairing and then attempt to value the vehicle based on others for sale in your area with similar characteristics. Add the price of any repairs to be made to your estimate of the vehicle and you will come up with your maximum bid which is how much the vehicle is worth. With a bit of luck you will be able to walk away with the motorhome for a fraction of that price.
