Okay, went out to see our first coach last night and shockingly, it fit the bill with almost all of our requirements.

26 foot, 26-1 layout (so we get the bunks for the girls), 455 engine, and everything works that needs to work. It has more miles on it than I had hoped for 110k, with 70 of them coming after an engine rebuild. Tires look good, but older than the 5 year limit. One body ding that has already been buffed and needs to be repainted. Carpet needs to be replaced. Upholstery in fair condition.

Okay, so here is the part that bothers me. The dash gauges weren't working so they wired a new set of instruments that hangs down below it. Hate it. Is that something that my electrically minded husband could fix somewhat easily? Or is that way harder than I am imagining it could be? Also, the instrument panel on the wall directly when you walk in isn't working. The brakes need to be fixed so that they don't stop when the motor does.

The guy has owned it for 10 years. He was in trucking in a past life and while he only bought it for emergency living in case something happened to his 110 year old house, he turned it on and drove it once a month to keep it in good running condition.

We just looked cursorily yesterday, so we are going back Sat morning to test drive and do our best to go through the new buyers checklist that I found online. :) He said he would like $7500-$9000 for it. Does this seems fair for a good running coach with high miles, that needs the above mentioned work? (I really only started to question this as his house is for sale and he is asking several hundred thousand more than all the comps int he area. Got me a little worried about the price of the GMC.)
