Hi Jim,
I am aware of the Montana LLC and I almost did that with my first coach. I didn't do it the first time because I didn't need to. Took advantage of Calif. law at that time which allow you to avoid the Calif. sales tax if you were traveling in your coach outside Calif. for 94 days out of the first 180 days of new ownership. They did audit me and I successfully prove that I was out of state; so, I was granted a tax exemption.
Bad news on the Legendary. I was denied financing. The reason I was denied was a new one to me: I didn't have any "credit experience" with making large monthly payments. Had nothing to do with ability to pay, current income, debt-to-loan ratio, or credit score (mine was 774). They said they willing to finance maybe up to $400k - $450k. We were using this lender because I was going to do the Montana LLC thing.
So I'm sorry to say I will not be able to buy the Legendary Prevost. I'm extremely disappointed. Back to the drawing boards.
