X2. When we visited FOT and MOT during our search for a coach, I never got the feeling I was being purposely mislead by any sales person. They would all answer any question I asked with (seeming) honesty. However, they will not necessarily disclose everything they know about a coach, unless you bring up that subject and ask a direct question.
For instance, one coach we looked at with great interest, was later found to have seriously bad corrosion problems underneath. In our ignorance, we did not notice this fact, until it was pointed out by Brett Wolfe during his PP inspection. We passed on that one. I later found out that another Forum member had looked at the same coach, with the same salesman, and that the severe rust problem had been pointed out to the salesman as the specific reason for their not buying it.
Human nature being what it is, you can't really expect a (successful) sales person to "badmouth" their product by pointing out every flaw. No used (or even brand new) vehicle will be perfect. A condition that is acceptable to some buyers may be a deal breaker to others. Each shopper must set their own standards, and have sufficient knowledge to determine the true condition of the coach (or else bring a expert inspector along to check it for you).
