ETC ETC It had 84000 miles and 1350 hours on Gen. And every time I mentioned something, he would mouth off that it was 20K under book.

So I bought a 2005 Revo LE with 39K miles. One owner, been maintained by his shop manager the entire time, stored inside, custom wheels with BRAND NEW 24.5 tires. He out them on after I looked at it because tires were 2009. He is putting them on one of his company trailers and put 6 new Michelins 24.5 XZE 2 on the coach. $85000!!

Pics in another thread.

In our recent search for a nice, clean, well-maintained coach, we discovered that some people outright lie about their coaches or have such low standards of upkeep and cleanliness that they really believe their trashy rig is really nice. Also, pictures lie.

Glad you found a coach to your liking. However, are you sure about 24.5" tires? I would think it has 22.5" tires like most class A DP's.

100% positive on the 24.5. He put the wheels on after he bought it new. He would run the tires for 2 years and then change them out on to a trailer. The ones that were on there had date codes of 09 for steers and 10 for drives. He said no problem, I will out 6 brand new ones on. He out on 6 new 24.5 Michelin XZE2 on with 2513 dates.

Kick Butt, that LE as I said before really is a superior coach.

So true!!!!!!! But, it's not only owners......the dealers are just about as bad. We walked thru 50 coaches before we found the one that fit our desires out of at least 60. The other ten were so bad we didn't even bother to stop!! You can usually get an idea of what the coach is going to look like if they have it parked near their home.....like home....like coach!!

I hope you noticed, I was not the original poster. My point was with people throwing out price opinions, what seems high in one area may be a bargain in another.

We are not shopping for a motorhome. We are totally happy with our 1999 National Tradewinds.
