First, I would go look at both at these MH's, and would want to take them out and drive them both! Ask about the reason for the motor work on the one and ask to see the receipt's. I would want service records for both coach's! 10,900 is way too much money for the 86, period! I bought a 10 year newer HR with everything documented, everything fixed, replaced, and got all the documents to support everything that was done and all the receipts! For 11,900, came with new tires, brakes, rotors, brake fluid change, wheel bearings checked, and packed, coolant sys. tested and flushed, trans. fluid changed/w/filter, generator serviced, oil and filter changed, in the gen and the MH, new plugs, wires, dist. cap, new couch in leather, new mattress in the back, Dash air serviced and charged, new paint! All with documentation! So they are out there! Just so you know! I would look at both, and go with your gut, as it is usually the best! but remember, these are older, vintage MH's, and even in perfect shape now, tomorrow something may break! It is a older piece of equiptment, so don't let your emotions make your choice! Make them a low ball offer, you never know, with out seeing these two MH's in person, I would offer on the 86 6,000.00! And the 89 is pretty good priced where it is! offer a little less, see what they say or counter offer! Remember the less you pay, the more you have for repairs! And you will have repairs!! Just figure on that for sure! One more thing is how long have they been trying to sell these too MH's? And , do not buy right away, take a short drive, and think about it, talk it over with your wife, get her input, as she is going to be doing this too!! I wish you guys the best of luck, and with the job search, do not rule out the north west! It does rain a lot, but not enough to discount them, and it is a great place to raise a family, and get yourself a great job! I have friend's living up there, and they love it! So do not rule it out, do some research and see what you come up with! Best to you and your family! Rail!
