1992 WBPT40 SanDiego 97K ForSale

I think it is all about condition, condition, condition, and location.
It is difficult and expensive to fly around the US. kicking tires.

Try to find an owner that cared about maintenance, contientious about
service, safety and not breaking down on the road.
Repairs and upgrades are expensive, you may be looking at 20 to 30K
for a cheaper unkept Bird or any Bus motorhome, Or 5 to 10 K. If
well maintained.
Ask for maintenance records, oil analysis, Tires, batteries, & frig.
could be well over $5K. Try to determine what has been completed on a
15 to 20 year old Bird.
Try to find a bird advertised by a Forum member, these are usually
well maintained Birds, When you are serious , and if a forum member
is the owner, do a search, on the several forums, for issues
repaired, and any info. available, on a specific Bird,
This is valuable info and helps determine , upkeep.
Ask forum members for help. Or to take a first pass look before you
fly.
The price is what you are willing to pay for what you want and what
the seller will take.
This is fun and a hobby, recreatiional , you will not break even.
