He's asking if $35,000 would be an acceptable asking price for the van if converted to 4WD and fitted with larger tires, aftermarket wheels and bumpers, etc.

More of a preemptive appraisal than a quote

now I see...
"if I do convert it -comma- is $35k..." I read "if i convert it it IS 35k [to do all the work]"

Legit phone number. Doesn't seem to be a scam. $10k and looks friggin clean as hell
Hmmm the pics are also in this blog and the Blogger's name and location match the ad...probably legit! Seems a good buy.

^^ Ad was deleted, so it must have sold.
I'm with the "sell it now" crowd. I think these 190's are attractive to a small percentage of people. An even smaller percentage would want the 4x4 and then a fraction of them would be able to shell out $35k cash for a 90's camper van.

I would call your bank and inquire as to the loan value on your rig. An RV typically has a loan-life longer than a regular car but still, something about 12 years from new is as old as a regular joe is likely to secure financing on. That means a $35k 2003 Model Airstream is probably pushing it and even then loan value would be 80% at the most ($28k) meaning your buyer would need to want the rig badly enough and be well enough off to pull $7,000 from their wallet and borrow the other $28,000 to buy that $35,000 rig. Step back to your rig, a 199x model, and you need a cash poor buyer just to buy what ya got, much less pay for a 4wd conversion. Ages and percentages here may be off, it's been a long time since I borrowed money but the concept is sound.

Depreciation curves get steep when banks stop loaning due to age, etc.

Yea, and that's another point. RVs and other toys are in demand at certain times of the year. Other times, you can't give it away. Spring and summer people are buying, fall and winter they are trying to unload what they don't need.

revised my wording for my CL add and so far no flagging. *fingers crossed. Your are 100% correct dwh, timing is everything and with the weather being as nice as it has been there seems to be a ton of interest in my rig. As for now I will consider them all tire kickers with potential, in other words not holding my breath but hopeful!!
