Go to NADA and look up the price. I think you'll find out that he is asking top dollar. To make it look all nice again will make you upside down on it.
With such low miles, faded paint, worn fabric, and carpet it may have been lived in years ago. Not a bad thing, just something to think about.
If it's a Ford it will have 16 inch tires that will cost about a grand to replace. RV consumer group is a joke in my books. Those that use them are mostly newbies.
I know many 90's GBM "entry level" rigs with well over 100,000 miles that have been all over north america. Seems like the Chev's will have more miles on them then the fords. Guessing it's because of the ride quality. If it's a ford look for a broken rear passenger side exhaust bolt. If it's a chev look for melted spark plug wires.
You may find out if it's a chev that the reason he doesn't want you to drive it is because it misses under load. From those that I meet the plug wires start to short out because of the high heat in the engine compartment.
Good luck, but keep NADA in mind.
