Thinking mechanical and value

To downsize I must go one of two ways so Dw will drive. She says no A's or 5th wheel.

So I've found a 1986 Toyota 20' with 24,000 Org. miles loaded w/ low hr gen and new tires $7000. Another find is an 1998 Coach House 19' with 112,000 miles, loaded, 500 hr gen. Tires about 20,000 miles. $13,000. Each will be driven few miles perhaps?

  • I'm sure a Yota guy will be along shortly to scold me. But the Federal limit was 55 MPH in 1986 and the Yota chassis I've driven were really strained beyond that. On modern expressways I think being stuck at 55 is dangerous sometimes. Can you tolerate that level of slow?

    I'm sure you can which way I'm leaning for my vote.
