What do you all think of this one?
1991 Lazy Daze 26 26 MID BATH, newport beach CA - - RVtrader.com

The seller decided he would have the rig smogged, despite his earlier refusal to do so.  It may be silly but, I'm a little put off by the pink and blue decor.  More importantly, the price isn't even close to Chris's document showing price by year.  It's about 7k off!  How do I address this with the seller without offending him, or should I just move on?  I'm waiting to hear back from the him right now to arrange an appointment to have it inspected.  Should I just pass?  I'm looking at another one that is more reasonably priced, but it's out of state.

Thanks.

Mimi,

Wow where do I start......you have asked this question over and over to the knowledgeable LD owners on this site and they have responded to your questions. Are you not reading the responses?  If you are then take their advice. Happy hunting 🚐

First thing that I would do is establish my search criteria for a LD that I wanted to include models years, mileage, price range, floor plan, etc. then I conduct my search.  Once I found a LD that met my search criteria or was close, then I figure out a way to either inspect it myself or find a person to conduct a RV Survey.   If the survey was satisfactory and I decided that a particular LD was the ONE, then I would begin to negotiate with the seller.  I might have to pay more if the LD was very special for some reasons or I might offer less if the condition was lacking in some important areas.  This process is not much different than buying a house.

I wouldn't be able to help another person with this important decision unless I was involved with each of the steps mentioned above.  And I certainly couldn't help a person while setting at keyboard in Fort Worth!   Hope this helps you a bit.

Mimi, sharpen up your negotiating skills. You can be firm without being offensive. Have a fair price in mind and negotiate to it.

As for "pink" or mauve as I think it was called, for the life of me I cannot understand how it became a popular color n the 80s and early 90s. That said, I believe we had a mauve carpet in the late 80s.

I have read their responses.  I posted this in case someone may know something about this particular rig.  I've seen others do the same.

Don't worry for a minute about offending the seller with your offer. I had mine for sale a year ago and was offered 20 to 30% below asking price day after day. It's part of the dance. Partly thanks to them I decided to keep the LD and I'm glad I did.
