97 bird for sale

[Pete Masterson]

Paul Davis is the owner of Mr. Olivers. I doubt that he was also the
prior owner of the coach in question -- at least, if it's the same
Paul Davis. It is also unlikely that Buddy Gregg, a large RV dealer
would put a coach on consignment with a competitor -- even a small
one like Mr. Olivers. So the 'history' you have seems confused.

My experience with Mr. Olivers (where I bought my coach) was good and
I'd do business with Mr. Olivers again...

If a coach doesn't sell within a 'reasonable' time, Mr. Olivers will
put it on eBay at an aggressive, _no_ reserve price. I got my coach
for $30,000 less than the advertised list price by waiting until it
was put on eBay.

My only caution is that the photos posted at the Mr. Olivers web site
will tend to enhance the appearance of the vehicle. This is not a
conscious effort to distort or misrepresent the quality of the coach,
but it is a psychological aspect of viewing photos online. It is very
important to view the coach in person to get a better feel for the
actual condition of the vehicle.

My experience with Mr. Olivers was that he did not under or over
state the quality and condition of the coach. He did not 'catch' that
the exterior of the radiator needed serious cleaning -- but it was a
problem that was difficult to discover without significant
disassembly of the shrouds, etc. surrounding the radiator. (I
experienced some overheating on my maiden trip home from Texas while
crossing Nevada. I later had the radiator core replaced. That was the
most expensive of the unexpected repairs I've encountered. Everything
else I've encountered have been normal for the age, mileage, and
condition of my coach.)
