Hello Gurus,
My name is Mike Ginn and my wife is Jeannie. We are in the process of purchasing coach #555. Ironically, the coach was bought out from under us 3 years ago at MOT. I waited over a year and tracked down the owner. We met but decided it was not time to sell or buy but stayed in touch. In fact, we became friends this past summer. They had promised to give us first shot if they decided to sell.
One has to be careful when in for service at Newell... Last week the owner was in for service, and walking the lot saw a coach which was there the last time he was in for service. Newell wanted to make a deal, and he called me to ask if we were ready to buy. I told him I had to talk with Jeannie and would call him tomorrow. When I called him the next day, he was signing papers, and said if I wanted it I had to act fast as they had another buyer. So last Sat-Sun, I drove from FL to OK, inspected the coach Monday, and plan to take possession the week of October 10th.
I have been reading this forum for several years and I want to compliment and thank you all for this wonderful forum. It was fun to read even when we did not have a coach. hopefully I have learned enough to get me on the road, but I want to thank everyone in advance for any future help :-)
I am currently, searching for insurance, tow package for my avalanche, and a million other startup things.
