Special request for a Bird wannabe

[Tom Warner]

A recommendation for you . NOTHING is impossible when it comes to
buying any motorhome. A 1997 Bluebird LXI just sold for less then
$170,000 and a 1991 Prevost Liberty is for sale right now for less
then $170,000 at Paul Davis in Dallas Texas. With the market like
it is right now and if you are a knowledgable buyer anything is
possible. People pass away and coaches need to be sold to settle an
estate. Or people just get sick of advertising the coaches and want
to sell now. How about on vintage birds a 1993 for $123,000 with
53.000 miles on it? Bird connection has a ton of them . Remember
price is not everything. You might save a little on a coach and then
spends lots getting it up to snuff.
