I could go either way.. but 14k for a '12 172 sounds a bit high, is that the window sticker, or have you talked to the dealer about actual sale price yet? If that is what they want to get it off the lot.. to much. ]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:59:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31624#31624 New 2012 or used 2010? : Banana, I don't know about... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31609#31609 Author: dsmiths

Banana, I don't know about the 2012 172, but we have a 2011 RP-172 we bought new for $11200.00. I don't know if there is any difference in quailty between them, I hope not. We have never taken ours back to the dealer for even one problem, not one loose screw. I own an A C DELCO tech shop and work on autos and equipment on a daily basis. I did take out an additional 2 year (3 total ) warranty on the 3 way fridge as I know they are expensive to replace and I don't have any experience working on those products. Every thing else most of us can handle with the help of this great forum and the expansive knowledge of the reader base herein. I would go used, pocket the $4200.00 bucks and use that as money for campin sites. have fun, go for it.]]> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:59:45 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31609#31609 New 2012 or used 2010? : Originally posted by francoisfrogpodIt... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31601#31601 Author: P&M

We were surprised as well, but had been watching it online for half the year before pulling the trigger.  They kept getting in and selling 177's and 180 series models, but for whatever reason this one just sat there.
 
Made for one heck of a deal for us!

Since the 2013 models are out, you may be able to negotiate one heck of a deal on the new 2012.  We bought our 2012 RP-171 last October and it had been on the dealers lot since the previous February ... they were very willing to negotiate on it just to get it off their lot.  So I would say to take that into consideration as well, and if hubby wants new then maybe ya'll can get that price down more.]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2013 11:03:26 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31543#31543 New 2012 or used 2010? : Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! That was my gut feeling but my husband liked the idea of the warranty with new. I'll show him what everyone said. :)]]> Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:30:53 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31539#31539 New 2012 or used 2010? : Welcome.

We bought a used 2010 that we saw on Craigslist. We have had no regrets whatsoever! They had used the RPod as a summer getaway,,,at just one campsite where it remained for two months. Camper Bob has a great point,,,use the money you save for any repairs. Or for your first major adventure!]]> Wed, 13 Mar 2013 07:23:44 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31451#31451 New 2012 or used 2010? : If it has only been used a few... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31444#31444 Author: Camper Bob

If it has only been used a few times, there is only one question in my mind.  Would you rather give the dealer an extra $4,200 or would you rather keep it in your pocket.  Seems to me that $4,200 would buy an awful lot of repairs if they were needed.  That would be my suggestion.  Safe Travels.]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:09:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31444#31444 New 2012 or used 2010? : I can't speak of the difference... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31443#31443 Author: Rugby8

I can't speak of the difference in the rpods, but I can tell you that you can buy a 3 rd party service agreement ( like a warranty ) for like 1500 that has coverage on almost everything. Xtraride is an extremely good product from a company called Protective. In fact the coverage covers your appliances longer than the manufacture ( depending on how long your buy your warranty for). Ask your dealer about it. I bought one for my 2010 rpod. Just make sure you understand what you are buying.]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:06:01 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31443#31443 New 2012 or used 2010? : Which would you choose and why?A... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3320&PID=31437#31437 Author: bananafofana

Which would you choose and why?

A new 2012 172 with warranty for $14,000
                       or
A barely (says three times) used 2010 for $9,800?
