So, the "dealer" is putting out-of-pocket change to keep listing the coach. That tells me, he/she is getting tired of this. Do you love the coach, are you ready, is the asking lower than FTs of the same age? Paperwork would be a no brainer, but I'd be wondering why the PO did not consign her to someone (George Sutton) that knows high-end coaches? Banks don't like to give out a lot of cash these days, but it can be done. So, the "asking" is $85K?  Buy a first-class aluminum (Halliburton) case, stock it with 65K in cash, don't stroll in with your Armani suit, wear your jeans & tee. Have 10k in your back pocket, just in case he kacks. Bottom line? His eyes should bug out of his head, and YOU GIVE HIM THE CASE!  ^.^d

It will be a week or two  before we can pull the trigger so to say..... will let him stew a while longer....
And as for Sutton... He got bit hard on a former Motorcade President's 2000 40' 320 trade in..... so don't think he would have any sympathy...

I see the ad has been moved to the Seattle area, maybe looking for a Jeff Bezos/Bill Gates? I feel sorry for that coach, she needs a good home.

Well today was the day.........PULLED THE TRIGGER & WROTE OUT THE CHECK & TITLE IN HAND!
Put into the shop for batteries and a new alternator, Shop will do a full maintenance regiment... plus all hoses,belts,air dryer (top & bottom) filters  and anything else we can find.
Bulkheads look good, one of the mechanics has owned a FT so he knows what to be aware of...
 Now to clean out and spiff up the former Geezermobile, and watch it leave the driveway for the final time.

Finally got it home after 3 weeks @ Freightliner for oil,air/filters, replaced the alternator also replaced the air dryer, then they found a wheel seal on the drive axle leaking..... UH OH!
 Seems that someone (PO/dealer?) didn't realize that a brake pad was "frozen" to the disc rotor...... THEN drove it anyway.. melted the rotor and the heat took out the seal, so went ahead and had Freightliner do a full meal deal on both ends as well as checking and lubing the caliper slides on all wheel positions...
 Now find that the fridge will freeze but not cool...... will be checking the flue & wiring connections in the morning.
And while on the roof might as well drag the vacuum up there and see if the front AC condenser & squirrel cage  is just needing a good cleaning to get it to cool again.

The saga will continue I'm sure

Now that this coach is sold, I highly recommend starting a new topic for individual issues rather than using this thread.  A catch-all topic is nearly impossible to follow and the info won't show up in a future search properly.
