What does it mean when the transportation and set-up is included in the price?
Created: 11/16/2008
What does it really mean when a manufactured home retail location tells a buyer the home price includes transportation and set up? Does this mean the home will be ready to move into? Most likely it means they will cover the transportation up to 50 miles from the factory, and just the marrying of the pieces together. If special equipment is needed to move the home into the site, this is not covered. If the home can not be pulled onto the foundation, set down and connected then it will cost the buyer more.
What will the transportation and set up not cover? This will not cover the foundation, skirting, exterior trim, interior close up, interior finish work, steps & landings, hooking up of the utilities, permits, special transport permits, CHP escort or spot time.
What is the value of set up and transportation included? The actual value of those services is estimated at about $4,500.00.
