I want to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who have shared your experiences with ex-rental units. I was leery at first but after reading the experiences here and the things to look at/for, I really don't see us buying from a local dealer. Especially since the 2 local dealers we've been to so far have had used C's that haven't been cleaned, had broken parts (hinges on cabinets, dinette table loose, and I didn't even get under the unit or on the roof yet) and are asking 38k+ for these units. These have been 06-08 units with 30-50k miles, but it has amazed us how they are showing the units in the state of disrepair they're in.
I would rather have a unit with 120k miles that has been maintained for $25-30k, than a non-rental that was traded in in a state of disrepair with only 30k miles on it for $40k.
We're looking to upgrade from our current TT and really want a unit with a slide to give us more space. (plus the kids are wanting to bring friends) So it looks like El Monte is the only rental place that has those for sale, which means an airplane ride to go see them. Has anyone bought from the Orlando office from El Monte? Or the Texas one? Those are the 2 closest to us so we're hoping to plan a vacation around the visit based on the inventory they have. May even drive home with a new camper :)
I purchased mine from el Monte in McKinney TX. Great experience.
