Plan I: Pre-Owned Sportsmobiles in our possession.
The typical selling process
- Prospective buyer contacts Sportsmobile regarding a pre-owned Sportsmobile. A Sportsmobile representative will answer questions the buyer may have.
- The buyer can then make an offer that Sportsmobile will pass on to the seller. The seller can accept or make a counter offer.
- After a price is agreed on, the buyer sends a 20% deposit to Sportsmobile.
- Upon pick-up date, the buyer can inspect and test drive the Sportsmobile.
- If all is to the buyer’s satisfaction, the necessary paperwork will be completed and final payment can be made.
Pre-owned Sportsmobiles that are in Sportsmobile Texas possession are detailed and inspected. Electrical, propane and plumbing systems are checked but not warrantied by Sportsmobile.
Chassis inspection by a third party can be arranged by Sportsmobile for $170. This is a comprehensive analysis that includes the engine, drive train, road testing, chassis exterior and interior items.

Plan II: Pre-Owned Sportsmobiles in “Owner’s Possession”
There is no restriction by Sportsmobile
As to the model year, mileage, etc., of pre-owned Sportsmobiles that we list on our Web site when the owner keeps possession. We have found most all Sportsmobile owners take very good care of their Sportsmobiles. However, for peace of mind, you can get a Carfax report (see Seller Listing Requirements above).
Sportsmobile will refer potential buyers to the owner.
All communication and negotiations are done directly with owner. All paperwork is handled by the owner.
