eBay LXI

[Pete Masterson]

It appears to be a single slide LXI. At Bird Connection, there are 2 LXI 43s (2001) with front slide (like this one) with asking prices (reduced) at $285K and $325K. A dual slide '01 is asking $379K -- and a LX 40 (not as fully featured) 01 is asking $279K with single slide.

So, the eBay unit might reasonably be priced somewhere near $250K (it says reserve not met) -- but I doubt that in the current market that it would sell for much over that if not somewhat (but not a lot) less.

The Millennium Edition was built for Y2K. The "Millennium Limited Edition" appears to have a few upgraded features. The brochure on Vintage Birds shows Alpine audio-visual-GPS system, Proscan DVD player, and Datron DBS-4000 in-motion satellite dish as features not included in the "standard" LXI-43. I suppose that the special features of the M.E. might justify a slightly higher price.

BTW, this is the first time I actually noticed, but on the 2000-2006 LXI, I see that the tag axle carries an 'outie' wheel instead of the deep dish as used on the previous WLs and as used on the 2009 prototype by CCW. Is there some advantage to one wheel arrangement vs. the other. Personally, I like the matching rear wheel look and I've always felt the outie tag wheel (on Prevost, MCI, etc.) looked awkward.

Is there anything special about this LXI? It says it's a Millennium

Edition and they seem to be asking an awful lot for it. Not knowing

much about the newer birds, I'm curious if this is a typical LXI or if

it really is some special "Millennium Edition" and, if so, what this

might have that a normal LXI would not.

I love this coach. This is Darth Vader's bachelor pad.
