Some advice please...

First, the seller isn't telling you the truth - if people were
"beating down his door" trying to buy it at his asking price, he would
have sold it by now. He certainly wouldn't be giving you, a random
stranger, discounts because he "likes you" and "wants you to have it."
Sounds to me like he has some used car salesman training. This is a
classic sales technique: He's trying to hype the thing up so you'll
think it's the deal of the century, we have to move quick because
everyone else wants it, and oh, aren't we so very special - he likes
us and wants us to have it!

I, personally, wouldn't buy anything from someone who pulled these
silly sales tactics on me. If I can't trust them not to lie about
trivial details like this, how can I trust them on the history,
maintenance and overall condition of the coach? Also, doubt you can
sell it for twice the price. From time to time you run into someone
selling something where they don't know it's real value, but in my
experience, that's not very often. If it's worth twice the price he'd
probably be asking that - or it would have sold by now. The real
steals go very, very fast.

At any rate, be very careful on a coach like this. It's not going to
look like much of a deal if you have to plow $20,000 into it to make
it roadworthy. If you already find it unsatisfactory, it's doubtful
you will find the will to be really happy with it in the future. I
think you are setting yourself up for disappointment and highly
recommend you pass on this one. Keep looking until you've found one
that you really like - then it will be a blessing instead of a curse.
Don't be tempted to jump on something just because it's available
"now" - take your time and don't buy until you see a coach that both
of you really want and are excited about owning.
