I agree with the last post. While traveling around the country we stopped to look at some new and used coaches. The new were nice and expensive, the used there were some that looked nice on the outside, but trashed on the inside.
Some people just live like pigs and do not take care of their coaches. Our coach which we bought brand new in 2003 still looks like new inside and out. We just got back from a 2K mile trip and it worked flawless. I have 63K miles on it now and I really believe that the engine is just now breaking in. So my point is why trade a coach just because it is ten years old if you have taken care of it. Full timers do wear things out more then we would being only a part timer. So I think I would stay away from a coach that has been used by a full timer if you want to keep the cost down on refurbishing the interior of the coach.
I did see a nice 45'Signature 2004 coach that had only 55K miles on it and was being sold on consignment by the owner for 198K. But geez! that coach was waaaay too long.
