RE: '04 PW Excel TS value?
We did end up buying this rig ('04 Pleasure Way Excel TS)down in FL (they drove it down for the winter). It's in beautiful shape, they had treated it like a baby (all but the nursing, that is). We had seen another in Jan. on Ebay (in SC) that went for $28k or so but it got sold. We told him our limit was $32 and he came down to $33k. A ways over NADA average but so is the condition. Drove it back from FL and love it! Thanks again for the advice.
OK, took a test drive and we like it, it's in nice shape. We offered $30k telling him that we plan to look at another in FL that is a Td but with much lower mileage, would probably be cheaper based on prelim phone call. This guy would only would go down to $36k for now, not in a hurry to sell. So we will talk to him again after we see the FL rig.

Any Ford E350 V8 Transmission upgrades over the years?
We're thinking of buying a used PW Excel, 2003 to 2007 or so. Wondering if the Ford E350 tranny has changed much in recent history? I know the F53 V10 chassis transmission improved in '06, but have not been able find info on the E350 V8s.

RE: '04 PW Excel TS value?
Is this on the Dodge chassis, or the Ford chassis? Either way, take a few minutes to peruse the FAQ's here on the B forum. Pay special attention to the importance of a personal test drive. Both chassis have had some driveability complaints here.

Thanks for the heads up. The '04 is a Ford chassis. I did notice the discussion about handling and will definitely take a long test drive with the semis! This rig has rear air bag and spacers, I was told. Not sure if these helped but the owner said that neither he nor his wife ever experienced handling problems.

RE: '04 PW Excel TS value?
Thanks for the inputs! Will probably go have a look-see and offer $30k if we think we can sleep in the rig! Escargot, may I ask what was the asked-for price and NADA value at the time??

'04 PW Excel TS value?
Hi B'ers:
We're thinking of joining your ranks, looking at a 2004 PW Excel Ts with 60+K mi, seems to be in excellent shape but yet to see it in person. NADA suggests Average Value of $25k. I see via searching that NADA is often low for Class B's (and as they say it is an average number, with excellent condition and/or low miles could be higher). Maybe another reason could be higher demand compared to other RVs?
Owner is asking high $30k's, have not yet begun to dicker but it seems a long way to go to get down to our budget, much less to NADA's number. IF it looks good and we think the sleeping area will work for us, we're thinking of offering NADA + 20%, i.e. $30k. Seem reasonable?
Thanks
Chuck
