2006 Monaco Dynasty Countess

I have an opportunity to buy this motorhome for $45,000. It's 42' long with 3 slides, 10k Onan generator, in motion satellite, air bags and auto levelers among other things. Owner says it is in mint condition with 48,000 miles. It has a 400 HP cummins. Pictures are at address below. Sorry I can't make clicky. We've camped in a fifth wheel for several years, but never had a motorhome. I think the pictures are mostly from when it was new. Thanks for any input and advice. This price seems very low compared to what I've seen on the internet.

    Almost too good to be true. Sounds like the deal of the century.
    Grab it. Now that you have posted links, it probably would not be that difficult for someone else to snap this up.

    Seems it is located in Houston Texas. No pictures in the original ad that I can find. It does list a phone number.

    I think they left a (1) off of the price.

    Just to give you an idea of why the price is suspect. There are a few 06's listed, you'll get the idea.

    I believe there's a (1) missing on the front of the price quoted.

    Further searching shows that RV being advertised in at at least 10 different
    classifieds, including Orange County CA. I suspect a big bucket of Scam.

    Sorry, but it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

    I really hope I am wrong, but I don't think so.

    At that price, it would sell in minutes if not seconds. This has been advertised for about a month now.

    Something doesn't match up. That's a lot of coach for price. Worth the drive to check. Never know could be an estate sale. If they have the title in hand and no oil puddles under the engine take it. Even if it needs eight new tires the price is still to good to pass up.

    Mtnfan, my heart just sank when I saw that selling price of $45,000. Ours may be available in 8-10 months with about 70,000 miles on it by then (65,000 now). I'm hoping to get at least 6 digits out of it as ours is an '08. It might just pay the taxes on the new coach I'm thinking about.

    Good Luck as others have said... $100K less than what's it worth. Until you get a phone # and an address where you can look at it... SCAM
