help... buying a coach

[ajhaig]

I'm looking at buying a 1987 Prevost.

I know almost nothing about RV's, Prevost, etc.

The plan is to take the family on an extended road trip.

Looks and sounds like fun!

Any advice?

AJ,

Tell us more about the coach. I owned one for about 15 years. It might be the same coach.

AJ,

The coach is on the CMI web site… It’s the “family coach.” As we will be traveling with children it seems fairly practical to us.

I believe it has about +/- 130,000 mi.

We are not looking for a “museum piece”… we want something safe and relatively reliable and somewhat practical.

One of my concerns is that the “family” appeal greatly limits the potential re-sale value.

Many thanks.

AJ

AJ, what is CMI website?

[Joe Cannarozzi]

I've never heard of that site either.

Are you at all mechanicly inclined?

Resale value? Whats that????????

Make extra effort to get something you'll be happy with for a long time. Best way to combat that resale issue.

CMI is Creative Mobile Interiors. They are a site sponsor of www.prevost-stuff.com (which you can get from the front page of that site). Here's their website: http://www.creativemobileinteriors.com/

Owen is the head honcho there. He was a speaker at POG I, for those who may have forgotten that event, last year. (sheesh)

AJ, Let it all hang out. The more you post the more you will benefit!
I think? JIM

Happy Friday the 13th. Don't make any deals today!!

Most used R/Vs are usually hard to sell and for sale for a very long time.

Start with a very low offer.

Check the tire codes, and replacement costs.

See how long it will hold air pressure.

Be willing to compramise on some things.
