I inquired about it for a friend back in April.  Per MOT, it's a nice coach but needs a full repaint due to bad checking all around.  That's why it's priced where it is.

I have not seen it in person, just passing along a response to an e-mail.

I seem to remember a conversation here that said it was cosmetically beautiful inside but had had very little maintenance over the years? I could be mistaken.

Is this the discussion?

That is probably it and I was mistaken. Not sure where I got the maintenance thing. I'll edit my post for clarity.

I reread the thread and mistakenly referenced another members post about his coach, not this 320.

Those years are prone to checking.. mine has it.. Not much you can do .. If it bothers ppl they will have to find a lighter colored coach or move their budget higher.

They look good from 10ft away but it is noticeable up close.

Mine still drives fine and functions as advertised.

Can anyone just provide a rough rough estimate on a repaint from Extreme? As a first coach I'm actually not to worried about the paint checking.  It would probably ease my tensions regarding accidental bumps and bruises. It will be stored indoors as well and used weekends, holidays, and summers.

Can anyone actually speak to having knowledge of this coach or having actually looking at it?

Thanks,

Extreme has there levels of Paint - the base is a strip of your decals and repaint over the exact decals "level one" Level two is a strip of decals and paint about 50% of the coach incorporating the decade areas under the new paint Level three is full body paint.

I knew the prices 8 years ago, best to call James or Jennifer on Monday and get the latest $$$. Expect full body paint to be about $30K, which is why there are two lower cost options.

Of course you can add to that roof paint, rear LEDS and front headlight replacement as well as the quicken electric step conversion if you want to run up the tab a bit higher.

Did all the aforementioned mods on my coach - happy with all the upgrades.

....was at Xtreme last fall & they said FBP begins at $25,000...they practically take the coach apart to get this done, hence a lot more work involved than just surface.

When we bought our 2003, U320 in 2013, we had Xtreme "fix" all the really badly checked paint areas.  That repaint lasted about 2 years.  The paint (mostly the black, but some of the dark gray) is now as checked, if not more, than it was when we bought the coach.

Since this is a 2003 FBP coach, level one won't be an option  ;)

I think the OP was hoping more for 1st hand knowledge of this coach, rather than a general discussion of $30K paint jobs.  Just sayin'...

I looked at this coach with several "walk thru thru's" while waiting on our coach to be worked on  @ MOT.
Interesting lay out with the rear closet, needed  a good cleaning on the inside and yes the paint is less than stellar but serviceable
I believe that this coach had Canadian (Alberta?) plates on it when I looked at it.(but then again I looked at a lot of coaches while in Nac for 5 weeks)
If I remember the air bags, shocks and tires may need to be looked at. And update the TV's and all the fun stuff..
I would look for stress cracks around the fridge vent, slide areas and the end caps, as these were known problem areas.
But the bones looked good and have many years of service left in them me thinks.
 And if you do a repaint go with much lighter colors.. but that can wait if need be.
Overall thought that why didn't this coach come up for sale before We bought ours..
 It certainly would be worth a drive over to Nac and a motel just so you could look at it for 2 days. (1st day really go over the coach & then "sleep on it " then look again the 2nd day to answer the questions that WILL have you wondering)
happy hunting
