Considering this used Class A.......

Thank you again for your responses. The generator was inspected, and powers up fine, but does appear to have an oil leak around the bottom. The tech could not find a stamp or tag to identify the unit, but he thinks its a DKD.

I have been quoted approximately $2500 to repair the front gear housing gaskets and exhaust leak.

The tech stated that to repair the generator oil leak would cost approximately $1500-1800.

With this being said, I have yet to get back in touch with the owners with the news I have found. With the asking price basically being at $14k, how does everyone think I should proceed?

I think you should give the owner three choices
- drop the price to $10K and you look after getting the issues fixed,
- they have everything fixed (get proof) and pay them $14K.
- walk away and look for a better rig. I know it feels like you have found the perfect MH, but believe me it may be better to wait and look for something that doesn't have these issues. ( I learned the hard way, 3 MHs in two years, happy with the one I have now. The first two didn't have mechanical issues but house issues)

Don't forget you haven't had the rest of the rig (house side) checked out yet.

So far I think you are getting your money's worth for the inspection as it gives you bargaining power and you know what you are getting.
