We had an 05 inspire 330 for a few years. I would need more details on what your looking at to give you any feedback. We were happy with ours but it did have some paint checking and a little trouble with the Filon roof at the sides.

I have a 2005 Inspire 330 in the 36’ version. I’m about to turn 100k miles. Overall it’s been a very good coach. I’m assuming it has the CAT engine in it.
At 18 years old it’s all about how it has been maintained. I hope maintenance/repair records are available. Things to be aware of, paint checking as mentioned earlier, has the original aluminum radiator been changed out, they typically leaked. Does it have the wet pto kit installed? what is the age of the tires. Is the fan controller working as it should.
These are some basic things to be aware of.

I have an 09 Inspire 360, 43’ w/tag. An 09 has been categorized as out of CC’s glory years and I beg to differ. It is a solid built coach without all the bling of a higher model class. I think if discussing paint checking is a boil down on the yes and no list of purchasing one of these years of coaches (all makes of coaches of this vintage) you may spend some serious time in your search. The yes and no list of whether to buy or not to buy should be graded on a curve.

We have a 2005 Inspire 330 DaVinci in the 40’ version. with the Cat C9. We’re about to turn 60k miles. Overall it’s been a very good coach. RonandSue74 hit most of the major issues. In addition to their issues we had significant problems with the original Norcold refrigerator, which was replaced with a Samsung residential model that is working out very well.

We had a couple of issues that I believe were coach specific. One was a steering linkage problem that caused significant road wandering and, an assembly problem with the fuel supply line that caused frequent loss of prime problems.
