I really don't trust sales people and I wonder if I was ripped off. I have been asking for repairs on specific items since I purchased my CA 23A last month. I had it checked over and found that several maintenance items needed to be done...new brakes, new shocks, steering stabilizer, and other stuff. It totals to around $2000. CA refuses to pay for any of it since it is maintenance. Are they getting away with this? I feel like I've been manipulated and I need a reality check if they are responsible for this or if I am.
When you buy used, everything on the motorhome is used. If you want one with all new components, then you have to buy new. They have a hundred or more 23A's for sale. You could have always picked one with less miles and therefore less wear on the above listed components.
From your history, I see that you work for CA, so I take your information with a grain of salt.
I would hope that CA would replace these items during the time they check over the systems prior to selling them. It is bad form to say the rig is ready for sale when so much needs repair. Also, the promise to repair items that are found problematic during the first 30 days is bogus. Does CA really want that negative reputation?
I am sure you and everyone else would want every component replaced new. Who wouldn't want everything new for the same price as used? "Reconditioned" means "overhaul, rebuild or restore", not "replace". If you buy a motorhome with 100,000 miles on it, assume everything has 100,000 miles on it. To assume otherwise is foolish.
