Would you buy a 200k miles Pusher?
Called about a 1995 American Tradition with 200k miles on stock motor and drive train but maintained with receipts.One owner. Newer tires. Interior ....fair. Would you buy and how cheap?

- Yes, if the engine was properly maintained! The worst milage that I've gotten on a diesel engine was 750,000 miles the best 1,200,000 miles before a rebuild. Are truck shop ran synthetic oil and changed the oil filter every 10,000 miles and the engine oil every 20,000 miles. These engines were run 5 times a week under heavy usage.

- Well I was close! good for you!
- Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
Travelon - Just came across this posting. Also a new member on these forums as you can tell. Anyway, I bought the coach your asking about. It is in really nice shape giving the year and miles. Doesn't need anything at the moment. The guy did buy it new and had it since new. He was a nascar photographer and kept it maintained well. It's seen all the nascar races since 1996. Lol. Tom Johnson here in NC done all the maintenance since new. Guy kept good records. And gave me a good deal.

I guess that answers your question if anyone would buy a DP with 200K.
Snoozing is losing on good deals.
LOL! maybe someone here bought it........you know one of the ones telling you not to buy it!- I guess that answers your question if anyone would buy a DP with 200K.
Snoozing is losing on good deals. - 250k on the motor? No problem. 250K on every other component? Real fine comb (maybe a thick wallet too) is required in my opinion.
- Oh well, the hunt continues......sold.
- Just remember all of the other components of the coach are 20 years old. Might want to take a closer look at coach amenities/appliances as well as diesel.
