What are the LD PRICES based on?
I just looked at the LD list of prices for 2019 and I'm wanting to sell my 2007 Rear Bath. It only has 49,500 miles and is in good shape. It has extras, solar, and electric levelers and some others. Is the price list of $32,880 based on the basic no frills LD? That is, how much can I add on for the extras? Heated mirrors, leather seats and the above solar and levelers? I'd appreciate some input as to how to price it reasonably for sale.

Happy Friday!

You could raise that price based on extras and over all condition.   The price list is met to be a starting point and you go from there.   Precisely what it is worth is, of course , is  based on what someone will pay.   This list price seems low to me - all things considered.     Frank

You will likely get several opinions of this, but, IMO, the appeal of 'extras' to a buyer - and their willingness to pay for them - varies a great deal; I doubt that you will recoup more than a small portion, if any, of the initial costs of add-ons from the LD's option list and/or after-market items. For example, for some, levelers are a must. For others, they're a heavy, potentially trouble-prone add-on.

For only one example, it's difficult to place resale/value added prices on 'solar'; how old are the panels? How many and what wattages? Upgraded converter and charger? A 2007 is using 13-year-old technology; this is not necessarily a downside, but it's doubtful that an older system will bump up the selling price much at all.

I believe that most educated buyers basically want an LD that has been well-maintained and 'all-points' services done regularly, that has had components, e.g, tires, shocks, etc., replaced regularly, that has no leaks or body damage, and is clean and functional inside.

When you write up your ad, you might want to spell out specifically what the 'extras' are, including the specs of each (where appropriate), and offer full descriptions of conditions of the exterior and interior, the ages of components, e.g., tires, brakes, and, of course, lots of photos, including shots of the roof.

IMO (I have no idea of the condition of the rig, so this is just ballpark), you might want to set the initial asking price at $35-$36k and see what the response is.

YMMV, as always.
