Needs some insight on a 2011 Challenger Class A

No flames please. I have a friend that is looking at a 2011 Challenger Class A with a V10. I know nothing about the brand. He thinks it's a good price. 50 amp service, 2 A/Cs. It has 35K miles on it, and a Queen in the back. I know the V10 should be the newer version 3 valve that isn't prone to blowing the plugs out. Gas mileage should be around 7. Tires will probably need to be looked at, if they haven't been replaced already. The current owner has kept in in Like New condition.

So, is there anything I should warn him about, or have him look closely at? As I said, I don't know anything about the brand.

Thanks in advance

So is the problem that the windshield popped out, or the fact that the frame was twisted bad enough to pop the windshield?

check the windshield gasket both inside and out for signs of damage or separation.many causes for frame twist. just do a post search on this forum on windshield separation. large one piece windshields seem to be the problem.
