While I don't disagree with the "work from there" I guess I have a different perspective.
I do a lot of mechanical inspections on coaches. I would MUCH rather see someone pay high book for a well cared for, well maintained coach that think they got a bargain by paying a low price for a neglected (VERY common) or abused one.
Certainly, this excludes those looking to buy cheap, make them "look right" and resell them.
Said another way, if you are buying a coach to keep for awhile, get a good one unless you are very handy and have set aside a lot more $$ than you think it will take to bring one back to the kind of condition where you can trust and enjoy it.
