Pictures seem to indicate it's in very nice condition. 97,000 miles 275 HP DP 6 speed allison. He wants $29,900. This would be my first foray into a DP and I looking for help.
Is the engine big enough to tow a car behind?
Is this model a low end or high end unit?
What types of questions do I need to ask?
The price seems high, is it?
Thanks for the help!
Our first motorhome was a '97 Vectra GT. when it was built it was just below Winnie's top of the line. It's a very well built coach with many standard features which were optional or not available on many coaches.
It has double pane windows, automatic jacks, a porcelain toilet.
If the engine is the Cat 3126 275/hp then you will have no trouble pulling a toad. We pulled a GMC Envoy that weighs about 4500 pounds. The radiator is in the rear and is subject to plugging up with road junk and oil from the open crankcase vent. Make sure it's clean and then have the vent tube extended to below the radiator stack.
