Yeah, something smells about the 2005. 50K for a 2001 sounds about right, 50K for the 2005 is about 1/2 price. Probably because of the title, but who knows.
Beavers are great coaches and I believe these 2 years are different coaches. The 2001 would have been built by SMC before the merger with Monaco. The 2005 was built after the merger. Does that effect quality? Probably not, because I think they were both built in Bend, OR. probably by the same workers. Pay no attention to the "only buy new" types here. That 17 year old Beaver is better than any production coach being built today by a long shot.
I doubt that I'll ever sell the Sahara, but if I do it's a Beaver Contessa for the next coach.
