RE: NADA Wanderlodge Listings
Hi Melvin,

I regretfully did use that awful word "dogooder". Hopefully Randy will accept my apologies.

Those are all great questions that you ask. I think I'll try to get on the phone with that NADA corporate secretary to see if I can gather up some answers. Smile

Of course, the price ranges become more difficult as the granularity of model years becomes finer, but there are several solutions to this problem. One is to use the same price average and bracket for all model years in a model grouping such as I did. Another is to have a sliding window algorithm to scale down ave, hi, and lo values as the years are traversed, another is to collect more data for each and every model year. Any of these is preferable to what NADA is doing today. In favor of this is the wide ranges that NADA typically uses for the hi and lo retail brackets. Absolute accuracy isn't required. There are some buses that will always fall thru the cracks and will have to be handled on a case by case basis and that's show coaches and total wrecks! These can't possibly be represented in the NADA model. I think though these are the rare cases. Most buses need an average amount of work and are in average condition. Few of us have the time and ability to apply Rueckwald style touches to our buses. Let me see what I can dig up. Thanks!

The draw to the nada site is still reliable and complete data. If they care offer to correct their data. Find the office worker who is holding th Ctrl and Alt button before they hit Delete. Or make a valuation document here.
I got a call from a dealer selling my bus. He said he isn't a hick, I asked him to listen to his voice mail message then call me back.

I'm on it, if I can only find a telephone number...
