I took delivery of one of the first Newmar New Aire's in October of 2017. It took me until the Spring of 2018 to "finish" the coach. I learned a lot in the Winter of 2017/2018. Biggest lesson, they sure don't make these coaches like airplanes. In any event by the 2018 Summer season I had a coach with all the bugs flushed out and except for the chassis module saga with no real problems since that time.
But now I am moving on. The market for used coaches is hot. So I decided to make an effort to sell the coach myself. I placed an ad on RVTrader and began the process of culling the tire kickers and trying to get rid of the wholesalers who want the coach for a below wholesale price.
After 7 days I gave up and pulled the ad. There was a lot of interest but every private buyer was clueless about the New Aire. Folks seem to just have a concept about getting a coach then start shopping with no attempt at any due diligence. So for each one I had to tell them what was unique about the New Aire, walking them through the differences compared to other Class A's on the market. It is a lot of work.
So now I am considering just consigning the coach and let some salesman earn the commission.
Looking for any thoughts about the best way to proceed. What is the normal commission cost for a consigned Class A? Any thoughts on the price point?
Here is a link to the details of my NA if anyone has a "smart" friend who would like one.
