When I purchased my bounder it came with a certificate of destruction issued in florida.I took this to my local dmw and was issued a ky salvage title.I then made the repairs keeping all my reciepts and affidavit as to what work was done and having local sheriffs office inspect vehicle(vin numbers on title and coach must match) went back to dmv again and was issued a "Branded Title".
The title is different in color and has "rebuilt vehicle" listed on it. In my area rebuilt vehiles generally sale for about 55%-65% of book value.
My local bank will only loan 1/2 of book value on a rebuilt vehicle.
back to op's post..require the seller to give you a "rebuilt title "instead of salvage.this way they have to do all the leg work required to liscense coach
Also as some have mentioned some state will not liscense rebuilt vehicles.so check with local dmw before hand.
IMHO a fair market valve for the coach your looking at is around $20,000.least wise thats what it would go for in my area .
rebuilt cars/truck etc are very common here.my coach and both of my pickups have rebuilt titles.
personally I have no problem with rebuilds,but,,,I purchase them before any work is done and repair myself or at least look it over closely before repairs are made.
By purchasing late model rebuildables I can have a new or close to it vehicle at a greatly reduced price.
