Selling a 2006 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager

[Philmont man]

I need to sell my Class A motor home. It 39’. Has two slide outs. Cummins Diesel.
Anyone know what they are worth? Has new refrigerator. I installed another refrigerator in the bedroom where the washer/ dryer normally goes.

What is the 4 digit model number? Most of the 2006 sun voyager models are workhorse chassis with gas engines...


The 2007 models list two units that are diesel -- attached is the NADA valuation of one of them, the M8388 model. These prices may be a bit hard to achieve now that diesel is the most expensive fuel you can buy in the country and often goes for more that $6 per gallon...


My own experience with these values quoted by NADA is that they are often at least two times what is the "going market" but pricing is heavily influenced by which part of the country you are in.

You can advertise it as a 2007 Gulf Stream.......... I assume you got the 2006 model year off the title. The powertrain and chassis are often 1 year older than the coach. Even if the rig was built in the 2006 year, they can label & sell it for what ever year they want. I know of one being built in Feb of 05 and was labeled an 06, that surprised me in that I thought when it was completed would have dictated the year, but NOPE. If the chassis set around for 2 years and finally got completed, then the completion date would mean something. Well guess logic and practice don't always follow. Although I've never heard of a more than a 2 year delay. The insurance company wants the year of the chassis, not the coach, and if that is what is on your title, then same story for your states DMV
As Chuck found out for you, this model was not available in 2006

The 8389 does indeed show as a 2007 year model coach, and as Hossross detailed above the chassis is likely a year older at 2006. This was also the case for my 2007 Tour Master, the chassis was 2006 but the coach was built in 2007 -- I never found that to be any issue and was in fact glad that the systems on the chassis were all build prior to the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) requirements that came in by late 2007.



Does you coach also not require the DEF complexity and maintenance? That may be an additional selling feature... Here is some data from NADA on the specific model you have (2 slides instead of 4 as used on the M-8388...) and just marginally less valuation. Again, your actual market may not support these estimates...and condition is everything.

My coach does not require the blue def. Thanks for the info.
