2006 Alfa see you Gold

We are looking to this unit 2006 Alfa See You Gold
We have a small rental operation with 6 units, all class C, and we want to get into the Clase A market. The unit has 8900 miles (which I'm not crazy about).
Any suggestion on things to look for?

    Curious why you would pick an older, orphaned DP as a rental to break into the class A market. For the same money you could get a new or close to new gasser which mitigates a few issues that might come to mind; Diesels are more costly to repair and maintain, some states require the driver to have a different license, they are unfamiliar to many drivers - especially ones renting RVs. I would suggest that if you want to break into the class A market as a rental, go with something less intimidating, easier to maintain and overall more budget friendly. Most rental places in the Class A market use entry level gassers (Vista, ACE, etc). Just a thought. Good luck.

  • They have a lower ground clearance than most class A'S. Might consider this if used as a rental. An inexperienced driver can take out the front lower cap on curb.
  • I might be a good choice for a rental unit. They do have the advantage of high ceilings but. Folks that have seem happy and they can be had quite inexpensively.

    they were famous for delamination. The resale on them is awefull
    but if u can buy it right and its not delamed by now it should be fine
    I know a few people with them and all of them never had problems and liked them.they were well made and used real wood in the cabinets
    I see this one has the 400HP most were smaller engines
    it looks super clean (pictures can deceive) just inspect the body real close is all to worry about
