I vote for an older quality coach vs a newer one of lesser quality, given the same budget money. We also wanted a pre-emission engine that requires no DEF and extra system problems to contend with.
Yes, we've had some issues, but so far, nothing expensive and I do most everything this old man can.
Actually like having the money in the bank to begin with, than having a new warranty and waiting for an appointment or with service and repairs for weeks on end.
Most of the depreciation has taken place and we did get it for a decent price.
Probably will never sell it, as it will most likely get passed on to our heirs for them to deal with.
As for how much quality, we always like American Coach, so hopefully we made the right choice. As, for older Prevosts, Blue Birds and the like, we like them as well, but slides and more than one bath floor plans are hard to find, given the same budget.
