Hi all,
Well since our trial hire last autumn we've been looking and keeping an eye on the used MH market. Early part of the year I felt that used prices were far too high and MHs were not selling. Just recently noticed massive price drops. Do you feel there will be more price drops to come? Is this a market crash?
The aim is to pull the trigger and buy one of them within the next 2 weeks. Scary but exciting!! But if massive price drops are likely then is it best to wait until winter to buy ?

We like the drop down over cab double bed with ability to make up another bed.
We want 4 berths , low owners, good MOT and service history ( no signs of major corrosion) , don't mind left hand drive. Very wary of buying from private seller ( should I be so concerned about this?) . Under 6.5 m in lenghth

We've narrowed down our search to 2 categories , smaller A class's and coach built built. We currently have a shortlist of these MH that are currently for sale on auto trader.
Would really appreciate any pointers from your experience and knowledge.

Quite a few you have there so not sure of each model, however I’d say the A class ones are probably a better build quality. Just make sure you take a damp meter and check for damp, don’t believe the dealer if he tells you they’ve done a check.
