Re: First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006
That was about the worst "How to buy" information sheet I have ever encountered.... and My first coach was a 24 ft Winnie. and I've had many many coaches since those days I now have a 40' Beaver. but 'nuff said. The brain will only absorb.... What the seat will endure! so said an old college professor of mine. Take all that information and break it down into palatable segments... your going to have this coach a long time .... spend a long time thinking about all the different facets! Most people are not going to go out and spend a quarter to half million on there first coach (yes there are a few nuts around who will) but having said that when you buy "used"... make sure the dealer is reputable and if the coach is on conseignment make very sure that you get a clear title before you part with any cash, DO A TITLE SEARCH.. In the pasts few years there was a dealer in Leesburg Florida who took some 40 customers to the cleaners... They are now in jail.

To put it succinctly... "the brain will absorb only what the seat will endure!" Otherwise a well put together series of serious thoughts. From someone who has had RV's of one sort or another since the early 70's you can spend an awful lot of time agonizing over what you wish you had in your coach, try to hang on to the idea you are never going to have the "perfect" coach but you certainly can have the coach you can afford and the one you can live with. The soundest piece of advicee I am happy to pass along is... If you are buying a used coach that is on consignment...DO A TITLE SEARCH... just like you would if you were buying a house, I personally spent 18 months and a lot of legal fees because I didn't. It's a very long story but thanks to some confusion with the motor vehicle folks they issued me a title when the souuldn't have and I RAN to an out of state dealer and traded before they discovered their error... and then a month later traded again... Just to distance myself from a nightmare. A word to the wise should be sufficient....... You're Wellcome!!!!! One last word ... the dealership is now closed down the partners are in jail and they took some forty customers to the cleaners. This was in Leesburg Florida509Views0likes0Comments
