What do you think this Prevost is worth?

A Prevost as you described would be a great deal for a couple or a family to travel in , but .... the issue is the shell / chassis / engine maintenance log . There is a lot of Prevost / Liberty level maintenance that should have been performed over the years and this is very expensive to catch up on . 13 year old tires are an indicator that other important items may have been deferred .

This coach should be surveyed by a Prevost Factory / Regional Service Center - then the real condition would be known and a fair value could be given .

I agree there has been a lot of "deferred" maintenance on this coach. To the best of my knowledge it has only been out of Florida twice. It was used for local trips and to use as a command center for some of his charitable functions. I'm sure that it has already been fully depreciated on the company books. The nearest factory service facility is in Stuart, FL, about 190 miles away. There is no way that he will ever drive it over there. Right now he is spending more time playing with his Bell Helicopter, which I have to admit is a lot of fun. I believe it is also has a 24 volt chassis main battery system, that just complicates things even more for the average mechanic.
When I built the garage for this coach it was in an unused portion of one of his large warehouses. Basically it is out of sight and pretty much out of mind. I ask him about the coach a few days ago and he said "oh yeah, the motor home, it just sits there."
He runs a very large and very successful company and he is always getting new toys to play with. Most of the old toys just sit around unused.
If anyone was seriously interested in the coach I would ask him if he wanted to negotiate a deal with someone. Keep in mind I thought it was worth $150K, give or take a few thousand, and I said awhile back that he thinks it is worth more. How much more, I do not know.
