Title: Damaged 96 For Sale
Post by: jor on June 12, 2010, 06:13:29 pm
In case anyone is interested a damaged 96 U-295 just came up today in the Phoenix craigslist for 33Gs. I was thinking about driving up to take a look as my quest for an old Foretravel continues but I'm thinking this would be an expensive fix (front, door, generator).

Talk to James at Xtreme in NAC on Monday when he gets back.  He can tell you
ACV in today's market.

I really don't want to rain on your parade but your asking price is way to high for a damaged coach.  When I totaled an 85 ORED it was WORTH 50K with 40 K damage, salvage sold for 2500.
If you have insurance it appears that this is far from a total. Insurance Companies in GENERAL total a vehicle when damages reach about 60 percent of value.
Before you part it out have a competent appraiser inspect it  ( employed by you, not the carrier ) and then deal with your insurance carrier.  It looks like its worth saving.

That's the one that went off the road in Mexico a week or two back...

Hi George,
  I found it on Craigslist.com. Go to Arizona, then Phoenix, then RVs, then Foretravel. It came up. It belongs to a fellow who posted about his accident on the yahoo forum not to long ago. Does not look good. Something James could help with.

or just google 'craigslist phoenix foretravel'

Personally, I doubt the damage exceeds 10K as long as the rest of the
coach isn't tweaked.
He drove it back from Mexico.

I wondered about the photo with it up on the tow truck!
