Signiture or king air

Looking to buy a sig or king air Sig is 08 with 600hp cummins an King same way , sig has 41000 miles an King has 55000 miles both are in good shape sig looks like new ,King looks good too , which one is the best to own . Sig looks a little more classy , but King is bath and half
  • Check out the Signature steering while driving.Some have the "wandering"front steering.
  • What you do on hard choices is you decide to flip a quarter. Be SERIOUS about that first flip. What you flip goes. PERIOD.

    If after you flip you decide "hmn I may want 2/3 flip", then you have made your decision and your brain just wouldn't tell you. :) It helps with paralysis by analysis.
  • Good choices whichever way you jump. I'm not a bath and a half fan myself so that would put the sig at the top of the list baring something significantly different.
  • Both excellent choices, 2 things would swing me to the King Aire.

    1st is the King Aire has Comfort Drive. There is no way to fully understand how good that is until you've logged a few thousand miles on a MH with it. It's that good.

    2nd, around '08 Monaco was having a few issues financially and some units weren't built up to the typical high Monaco standards. I'm not saying they all weren't, I'm saying some weren't. Look at the unit in question carefully.

    Either way you've picked 2 good ones.
  • Both flagship coaches for their brand so either should be a nice choice. I'd give a slight nod to the King Aire since IMO Newmar factory support might be a bit better than same for the Monaco.
  • The miles are low for both units. I would prefer the Cummins which both might have.

    Both have factory support. Go with the floor plan that works best for you. Check tire date codes and maintenance records.

    Good luck,
    MM.
  • I say, get the one you want first, but pay attention to the other option...get the one most others will want. If a rig has features most buyers would choose, it's better to have that one when the time comes to sell again.
