Good evening,
Just ran across your website. An old friend has a 1985 Barth that his wife wants to sell. He is 85 now and is out of touch mentally. I would like to sell it for her and need to know where to sell it - also need to know a rough fair price at which it can be sold relatively quickly. Am not interested in it myself and am not going to want a top retail price - just a fair price that would give the buyer also a good deal. Roughly : It is a 1985 38 foot Regency with a Detroit diesel. Has some new Michelin tires but will need a few more. Paint is original but faded and worn in a few places - that's the worst of it. It has sat outside for the last 5 or 6 years untouched. I put new batterys in it and it started up immediately (don't think it turned over one full revolution before it started - but it was put up with additives, etc when it was last used). Running and driving. Inside is excellent. - Again the only detraction for the home is the faded out paint.
At any rate they need the money (friends I have known for 40 years and they did some poor planning) and I would like to help them out. Can you point me in the right direction and give me a clue as to the value. Would a dealer be a reasonable place to sell it to on a more or less wholesale basis? Thank you kindly. Richard
