Considering a 2011 Avenue, 85,000 miles, appears to be in decent shape - haven’t looked at it in person yet. Just hoping to get ballpark price opinions. Thanks in advance.

KBB.com says it's worth between $46k and $56k. And that's what you'll need if you're looking at financing at a bank or credit union. That said, few will finance one over 7 years old, and most won't finance anything over 9 years old. A 2011 is obviously at the edge.

THAT of course, may have no bearing on what they're asking as there don't appear to be ANY comps listed for sale anywhere right now. All B-van prices are all about availability and condition. You can get some really good buys on five or six year old, out-of-warranty Sprinter-based vans. Generally folks shopping in the $80k range can take their time and cherry-pick the best. There's a glut of them at $80k and few of them selling compared to the under-$40k market.

There are a couple of Avenue owners here, and perhaps they'll chime in with better advice for you, but honestly, it's worth what you and the seller agree on.

For me it was hard to estimate prices as there are not that many of them selling to gauge the market. So I looked at Roadtreks and figured if I got close to those prices I was doing well since I consider the Airstream a step up. I purchased a 2011 Avenue in Novemeber 2019. It has the closet instead of the 4th seat. It had 37,000 miles. I paid $42,500 from an RV dealer in Florida.

Thanks for the input. Looks nice. Sounds like you got a nice price and practically new RV. I checked the Avenue out today. Agreed on $39K. Pick it up next week.
