JOE.....I agree with every thing you said. When I was looking for a bus 6 yrs ago, I knew that regardless of year model that I would re-paint, update complete interior and make the overall condition as good as new. I would have done this on a 1998 model or 1989 model. I shopped for the bus with the best mechanical condition and lowest miles for the price. I bought a 1989 XL that I have spent thousands of lewbucks on but it does not matter because I have the bus that I designed, updated to like new and is in great mechanical condition. Most important, I like my Prevost . It doesn't get any better that that.
