I find the will prices crash vaguely amusing, because they don't and never seem to have had giving this conversation seems to have been running for a decade or more.
Having worked in the car industry for 27 years RV (residual value) was the endless headache but for a Cali they RV's are so strong to be positive - as in you can make money at the best and lose nothing after 2 years at the worst.
Having flicked through AutoTrader for fun I note an FY22 that is almost the same age and spec as ours for 90K (we paid 68 after discount), meaning we could make 12 - 20K MORE than we paid. Better than stocks and shares. Even if that is over priced by 10K we are still in the black.
Hunting for ones the same as we paid ages vary wildly but it's anything from a 18 to 20 reg.
One things for sure - the ones winning the most remain the dealers.
I'm glad we bought when we did and given these prices the savvy move is to order a new one with a DTD discount and wait rather than buy used. Now. 5 years past. 5 years forward. IMHO.
