Get an independent inspection and value estimation and do a written contract.
You dealing with an associate, so the more you can do to keep it an unbiased arms length negotiation, the better.
Otherwise, when something goes wrong (and it will), you are less likely to blame your "friend" because you went in with eyes wide open.
A contract for a private party sale? For what? Is the seller going to finance it? If so, a contract is definitely needed. If it is a used goods, "as is where is, no warranty expressed or implied" cash sale, the only "contract" required is a Bill Of Sale.
If the seller wishes to give a 30 day 3000 mile warranty, that can be noted on the BOS.
I have never given a warranty of any kind on a used vehicle sale. If the buyer wants a warranty, he can contact one of the multitudes of Service Contract sellers that are available. Once the seller has the cash in hand, and the buyer has the title and possession of the vehicle, the deal is done and complete.
As for the coach in question, yes, I think it probably is a good deal. If you like the coach, and it appears to be well cared for, I would say "Go for it!" If an inspection would give you peace of mind, do that before the purchase.
Good luck.
