Brett,
Welcome to the SOC, a great place to get your questions answered with a lot of nice people!
A year-and-a-half ago, we were also looking for a Sunline; we wanted a 2363. As you noted, we too found that the pricing from RV dealerships and private parties was "all over the place." We also consulted the NADA but ultimately ended up paying more than the high retail for our 2363. Someone here, possibly Sunline Fan, can explain a little bit of what's behind how NADA values trailers. IMO, their valuations do not seem to be based on how either dealerships or private owners price their RVs.
For us, it came down to two things: one was "condition"; and the other was what an SOC member described as "It's worth what you're willing to pay." Because we were newbies, we wanted to buy a trailer in very-good-to-excellent condition, i.e., well maintained, no leaks or soft spots, little wear on the inside and outside, all major systems working, etc. Condition - and the fact that we wanted a 2363 - then dictated "what we were willing to pay." The Sunline we bought was in excellent condition but we paid more for it than we planned and it's been worth every penny. While we wanted to get a good deal, in the end buying a good trailer was more important to us.
All that being said, if you can get an '04 2753 that is in very good condition - especially with no leaks, soft spots, & well-maintained - for around $6000.00, I'd say that was a very good deal. Good luck!
