johnnyblade Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi- Newbie here. We are considering purchasing a 1991 Toyota itasca/winnebago. It has 88,000 miles on it.Just needs a cleanup. She's asking $14,000. We know she will go lower. Maybe $12,000. Any ideas what we should offer? What do you think it's worth? It's in town so we don't want to miss out if it's a good deal. We prefer not to travel to get one. Thanks, Johnnyblade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88WIT Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Which model is it? At that price it should be very 'clean' in every sense of the word. If it is, snap it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If you are at 88,000 miles, it is over due for a timing chain replacement, Toyota recommends ever 80,000 miles. $12K to $14K sounds a bit high so the motorhome really needs to be in excellent shape. Be sure the tires are a couple years old or newer, a new set will cost you $600 to $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicemaker Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I picked up my '92 last fall for $9000 CDN. Asking price was $13,000. Same mileage, needed tires, thorough cleaning and general minor repairs/servicing. After spending the time I have fixing it up I glad a didn't any more for it... should have offered $8000, actually... Voicemaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I picked my 1990 up last year for $5,200 with 87,000 miles and it just had the timing belt replaced, three brand new tires, new rear air shocks, and new roof A/C. I added three new matching tires at $100 each and did about $600 of fixups (tune-up, raditor flush, transmission flush, new muffler, new batteries and fuel filter.

If they all work, no leask, then engine runs good, no tranny rear end issues - $14 is a fair price - the start subtracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmichaelz Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 This topic was started over two years ago. It is an old inquiry, actually a very old inquiry, here are some NADA Guide links which could have been used to answer johnnyblade's question about value back then in June 2007, or NADA Guides can be useful today for anyones new inquiry about market value: http://www.nadaguides.com/SectionHome.aspx?LI=1-25-38-5697-502-579-50251&l=1&w=25&p=0&f=5602" target="_blank">http://www.nadaguides.com/SectionHome.aspx...;p=0&f=5602</a> http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?l=1&w=25&p=38&f=5693&gc=rv&any=0>c=MH" target="_blank">http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?l=1...ny=0>c=MH</a> http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?l=1&w=25&p=38&f=5692&gc=rv&any=0>c=MH&ml=I#0121" target="_blank">http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?l=1...H&ml=I#0121</a> http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?LI=1-25-38-5694-0-0-0&l=1&w=25&p=38&f=5697&m=0415&y=1991&ml=W&gc=rv>c=MH&d=2200035455" target="_blank">http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?LI=...mp;d=2200035455</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milberry Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 We picked up our 1990 Itasca Spirit - 20 ft a few months ago for just under $5K. I was ignorant to pricing at the time but now I am seeing I did pretty well. I am putting new tires on because the ones on it are from 2001. Other than that it was spotless and included all original manuals. Like the other's said, for 14K asking price, it should be pretty close to perfect. There is lots of information here about what to check out before you buy. The consensus here is not to be in a hurry because there is always another one down the road. If you are going for a certain floor plan though, and this is the one you "have to have" then you might start with a low offer and work up. Just my 2 cents. Good luck, I know how exciting this time is. For me, the search was half the fun! Kathy Calif. Hi- Newbie here. We are considering purchasing a 1991 Toyota itasca/winnebago.
