feedback on purchase of Born Free 26 Casual Elegance

Thinking of purchasing a used Born Free 26 Casual Elegance class c (27k miles). Would like input: issues encountered in yours, mileage (v10 diesel), is it worth the $$, long term reliability and value...
Class C

Sorry, but they didn't make a diesel Class C during the 2 years that Ford didn't make a diesel cutaway van chassis. The choice wasn't Born Free's; it was Ford's.
That's correct. Ford does make a 6.7L turbodiesel engine, but they do not put it in the vans. So, it's impossible for Born Free to put it in their cutaway E450 Ford chassis vans.
