well, I dunno about give up, but...
We're looking for 27' or shorter, walk around rear bed, queen over cab, under 26K out the door. Everything working in the house, exterior looking like it can pass for a 2000 or newer, so less than 20 years old, not too concerned about miles as my cousin is the service writer at the Ford dealer so I can prevent getting completely jerked around on the engine/trans/suspension stuff.
Just home from driving 45 minutes each way to see a piece of junk advertised on Craigslist that had as its only redeeming quality a koala tattooed on the hip. Seriously, 96 Walkabout for sale by a guy who took out the shower for storage during his 18 month full time odyssey--and it smelled like it! There is an odor level at which MPG or miles on the odometer are irrelevant.
Why oh why would you put up an ad that says your rig is 27' long when its knocking on 30? I know what's not negotiable for my situation, length is not--whhyyyyy?
Just wanted to vent my despair. Going to the SoCal dealers at the end of the month.
