I tend to look at things a little differently on a used vehicle. You paid $13,000 of a coach that has an AVERAGE RETAIL of $15,150. Basically all of the work that you did was deferred maintenance and does not add to the value of the coach. So you have a coach where, if you sell it now, you may only lose a few thousand dollars. Now that sounds tough but look at it this way...........How much does a typical vacation cost where you have to pay for airfare, meals, hotels, etc? We took a three week trip to Peru and spent a little over $5000 with NOTHING being recoverable.
To me, I think you would be better off cutting your losses and selling or trading the coach. This does not mean that if you get another coach that there will not also be problems, but I am sure that you will never trust this coach again to take on a trip. Chalk it all up to experience and move on.
