The engine is Buick, so it should not be too bad if it needs worked on. While it may seem like you are buying a really small vehicle for the money, a Vixen will hold its value. It is going to be easy to drive, and gets about 20 mpg.
Incidentally I would recommend staying away from Fleetwood (ie Bounder, Pace Arrow) if you are looking at coaches from the 80s. While many brands coaches had delamination issues, Fleetwood products from that era will really bad for it. Delamination is where the outer skin delaminates from the luan (wood) backing. It is caused by water intrusion, which rots the wood backing. Usually the water will also cause mildew, as well as rust away the vertical framing. This problem is easily recognized by large blisters, or wavy soft spots on the side walls. Commonly seen around the bottom of the windows, although it can be from roof leaks as well. BTW: If a dealer tries to tell you that delaniation is no big deal (yes I've heard them do that) Slap him in the face as hard as you can for lying and then leave.
