Thank You For Help on Abortive U240 Purchase

I came very close to purchasing a U240, and had the help of many here in the course of the pre-buy inspection.

Alas, a combination of a long list of discrepancies and difficulties with seller communications convinced me that the coach was not a good buy and I passed.
J just wanted to thank everyone here who assisted by answering all of my U240 questions! Much appreciated.

The right one will come along.  Be glad you asked the questions you did, took time to evaluate the situation, and "avoided future regret".

BTW, there are both a '92 and a'94 U240 in the classifieds, as well as a '92 U300.  All those coaches are owned by folks who have been forum members for at least a couple of years.

Indeed. I already went down the impulse buy road on my first Foretravel.
Thanks!
