To provide a realistic achievable price for the 2017 Autotrail Imala 715 Highline with 26,465 miles, I will reference similar motorhomes currently listed on AutoTrader UK and account for key attributes specific to this vehicle.
Vehicle Analysis:
1. Make & Model: The Autotrail Imala 715 is a well-regarded UK brand; however, it is not as premium as German brands like Hymer or Burstner.
2. Transmission: This motorhome is an automatic, which is highly desirable and typically commands a higher price than manual transmissions.
3. Chassis: Built on a Fiat chassis, which is industry standard and reliable.
4. Interior & Features: Features such as a wind-out awning, solar panel, Truma forced air heating, and both swivel captain chairs (captain seats) enhance its appeal. However, the lack of self-leveling, winter pack, and satellite dish could be considered in negotiations as a possible downside.
5. Market Context: Given that it is a well-made model but without premium branding, we can assume higher prices for automatic transmission and lower mileage units compared to manual options.
