^Agree, only because a buddy has a similar year/size/miles Class A that he paid 12 for several years ago (very good deal at the time) and just sold for 13k. Doesn’t need tires, exterior is cooked but no leaks or damage and it’s been driven regularly.
One word of caution about them old Triton engines, they are also spark plug spitters.
He carry’s the kit to heli coil new threads in as it’s happened twice in the last few years.
The water damage is not “no big deal” to most people either. Keep that in mind. If it’s a diy to you that’s your “savings”, not the current owners.
It’s unfortunate for the current owners that they have health problems and that they didn’t care for thier rig it appears. But not your problem.
I can tell you no one has offered me any charity (other than my employer was good to me) because my wife had terminal cancer and just passed away. It’s a business deal. If it makes you sleep better that’s fine, but the next guy who shows up to buy it won’t care.
Regarding the tires, 6 yrs old isn’t necessarily bad unless you think or know that they were also sitting in extreme UV exposure the whole time. Although if they aren’t cracked or checked, I’d run em. Maybe replace the steering tires for peace of mind. This applies slightly lesser if they’re 16” tires vs 19.5s and slightly lesser avian if they’re quality 19.5s.
Good luck! You could have a gem, although expect to have more “minor” issues and also expect to do complete fluid changes being it’s 20 years old and with those low miles I’d doubt any more than oil changes have been done unless you have service records.
