buying a 2004 Monaco Diplomat

Not at all. We were looking in the 04-06 range ourselves for our soon to be full timing coach. Just so happened we found this 06 Diplomat. We are so excited!! Just brought it home a week or so ago. Important thing is good service and maintenance records on the engine and chassis as well as the house components, and a good professional inspection top to bottom. Without it meeting those criteria you need to move on in your search. Good luck!!

Not too old IF it has been kept under cover. Be prepared to spend thousands though on the list of five year maintenance stuff.

Replace all fluids; trans, engine, power steering, rear end, belts, hoses, coolant and probably tires. Repeat for genset. $$$

23k on a diesel?? Not a problem. Have it checked out by a pro before buying. Monaco keeps records on all coaches sold, check with them to see if there was any factory repairs done.

Nope. I've got one and sticking with it. I maintain it well so it still looks good and everything works. You may want to upgrade the TVs to HDTV if the current owner has not, so a little upgrade expense there. Tires should be replaced if they are original.
