Title: Noticed this on RVTrader.
Post by: Tobie Fore on January 05, 2018, 10:30:04 pm
Wonder if anyone has any information about this coach?  Knew or knows the prior owner?  Has seen it recently?  A PM would be appropriate if discretion is needed.

If that is a real ad, the price is very right. Driver's seat vinyl is shot for 55K. If the ad is real, I would be on the first plane to see it with cash in hand. With deals, you snooze, you lose.

That's a lot of coach for 17,750........... Must be something I'm missing, sounds like an awesome deal if just normal wear.

Canoga Park is 2 miles from me. I will see what I can find out.

Get two, Craneman! I want one.

That type of ad has a certain Rod Serling Plot to it. Wonderful looking deal. Let's wait for the scoop!

Bought a few roll the dice products as a Foretravel and other brands sales manager.  This is another one,  if it starts and drives and the gen runs  and the appliances work I would be a player.  $20k plus maybe more to make it correct.  Or it's already done. Maybe.  If it was done and $40k it would be fairly priced

I will drive over there around 9:00. This could be the outfit that did bait and switch when I called on a good deal many years ago.

That Google shot of the "office" does not give me the warm and fuzzies.  On the plus side, if the coach is only vaporware a potential buyer could always walk across the street and rescue a homeless dog!  That would certainly make the trip worthwhile.

The seller says he has a deposit and will hold until Weds. The potential buyer flew in from Texas.

So did you go down or call? Was the coach as shown as you have not mentioned that?

When the seller told me it was basically sold the only thing I did is ask if the deal falls through to give me a call. The motorhome was not at the address given in the ad.

Buyer picked it up yesterday. Wonder if it will show up on one of the resale lots.

If it is a great buy, you have to move fast.  This also means checking the ads daily.
