I would recommend that you search other options than a 'dealer'. I have seen nice late model coaches on Craigslist that were very resonable in price, but again thre are others that are made of GOLD. We got ours off craigslist, but had to drive a couple of hundred miles one way to see and then actually purchase. But it was at least $30000 less than the same coach we had looked at from the dealer for NEW, and it had only 4000 miles and 24 hours on the genset. Yes does take some creative financing on your part to have the $$ available. I got a home loan from the bank and had it available when we went to the bank to pay for the rig. You can also use the rig for I think 2-3 weeks to cover the mortgage requirement by IRS as a 2d home. Check with your tax advisor. If you have money available depending on where you are at, you can save a lot of $$ by private party sale. No sales taxes in most cases is the big one. Check craigslist for arizona to see if there is something there to interest you. Also used 'refurbished' again depending where you are at may have a 'SALVAGE' title and they are really only good for you as dealers and others dont want to touch them for trades etc.
