I guess what you're saying is "Good Bones" right? If its a highly rated manufacturer and a top of the line model that's in great shape it may be a very good choice. Even with 6 to 8 years old its worth some clean up - paint up - fix up, because it has "Good Bones"!
When a given coach has an MSRP $200,000.00 more than another there's got to be a good reason for it. Is there anyplace you can think of on line where you can punch in the manufacturer, model, year and style and get specific lowdown?
I know there are times when a given manufacturer can have trouble. I've been reading that Tiffin has had some problems for example. It would be great to know of a website where you can find problems, recalls etc for given brands...
Thanks again,
