74 Argosy 20' for $?

[3x2x4sp389]

Hello, wondering what the market is on 20' 454 Argosy MH with 69k miles and no rebuilds - needs paint or polish - original interior.
Gotta move fast if I am to rejoin the Airstream community, Help!!

$4k-$8k depending on condition which varies WILDLY. I've had 2 e-mails in the last 2 days about 20' Argosy MH's. I think the 77' models have rear air ride suspension. The 74 would not have rear air-ride.

sounds right to me also, it might be a good find in that price range of you like that size and configuration.

There might be a couple of us asking about the same Argosy - the guy is a dealer and is pretty firm at $9500. My understanding is with the steel endcaps - you can't polish them, only paint them silver metallic. True?
The best thing about this one for me is, at 20ft, I don't need a parking permit in my city!

You're right about the steel endcaps, as I understand it. That's why argosys are painted.

I think I saw an ad for the one you're looking at (if it's in the NW). I was parked next to one at the Rocky Mtn Rally a couple years ago - they're cute as a button, and almost fit in a regular parking space! I haven't seen many for sale. I'd say if he's firm and you really want it, go haggle your best price out. Good luck!

One just went on E-bay for $3651 Item number: 4615999595
I would question the milage may be 169K??

For more than 4k it would have to be pretty good shape.. (for me anyway)

if you want to polish it out, you can always paint the end caps to match..looks ok a few have been seen that way.
