You Gotta love the attitude.
Might be a good buy for someone in Fla. If it was closer i might be tempted to meet this guy and take it off his hands.
Check out the welcome on the windshield.

It's probably a better deal than what I bought!

I'm sorry to say that this is almost definitely the coach I looked at in April with the serious frame rot. Photos on the photo site.

It might be worth $2500, but it's a project. The interior is nice, just the usual 35 year old upholstery powdering.

Nice guy though, at least a few months back when he was less exasperated. Sad

I can relate to this guy. when you post stuff on CL, you get some of the dumbest questions from people who wouldn't need to ask them if they just read the ad. People just waste your time. I wasted half a day once in 115* heat with a guy who never wanted to buy my coach, he just was curious and wanted to see it. After he told me that, I nearly ran him over I was so annoyed. My weekend time is limited. There are some really clueless people out there who have no consideration for others. $2,500 is a good deal if the frame isn't rotted. It would make a good parts coach for Bounds too.

My son's business partner looked at this GMC last week.

He said the interior was essentially original and in decent shape, paint faded as expected, but the frame was too rotted for him to even consider this as a project vehicle.

In the Craigslist description it mentions being driven from Michigan 2 years ago, that explains the frame!
