Thanks for all your comments. I'm sure we will end up keeping what we want. We bought ours used at a good price. I always seem to find a bank repo at least I did with this one and the one before. Our last one we paid $40k for and drove it for 2 years and sold it for $43k. This one we bought for $45k and were told by the dealer we could trade it in for about $40. We currently owe $43 so we are a little upside down but not bad considering how we financed everything.
One of the biggest reasons we sold our last one was because of the ceiling height. I'm 6'5 and had to duck under every light on the exterior. That was super annoying to me. Ours now has 6'7 ceilings so I don't have to duck under lights anymore. I't seems like manufactures starting in about 07 increased the ceiling height a little. I don't know if I went in any early model DP's that had ceilings I could walk in without ducking. Seems like they were all low to. Except an Alpha but here they had major problems with there coaches. I think we will just keep what we have for now. I'm still $10 years from retirement from the Fire Department and we will see where we are by the. And what we want to do. Thanks for all the advise.
If you know of any early 2000 DP's with tall ceilings post them up. I'd like to find one and at least take a look.
Mine is 6'7" and I believe most if not all of the high end Beaver and Monacos were comparable.
