hey @smitty2, I did not pay 180,000 for mine. I paid WAY WAY LESS then that. I came across that bank repo and the wanted xx,000 canadian for it ;). I was hesitant until I looked online and the cheapest I found was 90,000 US. They really hold there value. So after seeing that and then researching the Allen Blue Book price for those rvs this is what they stated:
Great Condition- 179,000 US
Good Condition- 130,000 US
Fair Condition- 98,000US
So finding it for the price I did I decided to buy it sight unseen. I have changed basically everything now in it. Including the deck to a new alpine one (what a pain in the a$$ for the camera hook-up). I changed the headlights into some new projectors that look nice. Apperently all chev5500 take the same headlights as kenworths and old peterbuilt semis. I will post some pictures soon as I have a lot of work into this thing now. I am going to be modifying the garage to hold 6 or 7 stand up jetskis as well.
@ronfisherman I did all my own maintanence and by the time i changed every fluid and filter (i got my fluids and filters at cost to) it probably still cost me 500 bucks maybe more.
