What was the original price for your vintage AS

[SilverRanger]

$2500 for the 1968 Tradewind, 6 years ago. I'm the second owner. All the papers, maintenance records, and manuals came with it. I never thought to look through them for the original invoice. If it's there I'll post it.

If I take that amount and run the numbers with the inflation calculator at http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ , it would be $27,889.81 today.

List price on my '72 Ambassador was $9395.00 (from the title)

Wow, I'm impressed! I didn't have that kind of money to spend when I was BORN! I can't find my birth certificate or my social security card -- you've got a receipt for your trailer from '59?

Organizational skills I can only dream about... Yeah, and I don't want anybody calling immigration just because I'm temporarily an undocumented worker!

I guess one definition of a good deal is when you believe you got a low price and the seller believes he got a high price . Yours sounds good to me. I wish I could tell you the deal I got on my 89 370LE MH , but since it came from a close relative, it's not really representative of the true value. Let's just say I got a very GOOD deal!
