Been there, done that and I don't see a problem. I bought our 2012 Nexus Phantom 23P(see my sig), from La Mesa RV 15 months ago. It had 6,205 miles on it, 8.8 hours on the genset for $47,000. If this one is half as clean and nicely equipped as mine and you can buy it for $47,500 I think you would be wise to do so.
We flat out love our 23P, without question one of the best built high end coaches I have ever encountered. I had been negotiating with Dave Middleton, a co founder/owner of Nexus for several weeks to have them build me a new unit for around $62,000 and was literally and eyelash away from flying to Elkhart to do the deal when our 2012 popped up at LMRV on the internet.
When I called Dave the next day to tell him we had purchased the 2012 he was the consummate gentleman. He congratulated me on a great price, formally welcomed me to the "Nexus Family" and then asked if there was anything he could do for me. I asked if he could send me the specs from the original sale, gave him the Vin # and the next morning they were e mailed to me.
Last June I had the opportunity to visit the Nexus facility in Elkhart and despite not buying from them we were treated royally. Fred, their general operations manager took over and hour out of his busy day for a personal factory tour. While there I had two minor modifications done (added another set of seatbelt and moved the spare to a custom under the coach rear mount. Their labor rate was a very reasonable $75 an hour.
I also authorized them to fix what had become a chronic PITA, every time we fueled it took forever as the pump kept burping/shutting off. Often it took 20 minutes to get 30 or 40 gallons in. I suspected the fuel vent hose was compromised but it turned out to be main fuel fill hose. It had been twisted out of alignment by Ford and the kink was restricting the flow to a veritable trickle.
They spent a couple of hours finding and fixing the problem by pulling the hose off and properly reinstalling it. They then put 5 gallons of gas through it just to make sure they solved the problem. When I asked for the bill i was told "No charge!" While Ford had caused the problem they felt it should have caught it because "we build a better coach than that". Keep in mind I was not the original owner and the coach was a year out of warranty.
After 16 months and more than 21,000 miles we could not be more pleased with the quality of our Nexus. My experience with everything Nexus has been 100% positive.
