The guy listing it, Jake, is the same person that listed the last one I inquired about ..... could be a broker ...or a scammer....
I sent him a message. I like it too.

If you find the VIN it would be very helpful to me.

Love the paint job, and the interior looks wonderful! If the drive train is in good condition this is a killer deal!

I spoke with Jake several times and he is sending more pictures.
He is a private wholesaler and got it from a dealer in Mesa.
We talked some numbers in principle and I know it needs new rubber before I can take it home. It has 11R22.5's and I will need to find a place to get some in Phoenix. There is a spot where the clearcoat is peeling that will need to be repainted.
It has a 6v92 and he claims it has 73000 original miles. Got the VIN # and will do a VIN check to see its history.
If I get the address and info, can anybody in Phoenix take a look at it for me for a reasonable fee in the next 2 days and then I will buy a plane ticket ?
If it all checks out, I am debating if it is wise to come buy it and drive it to South Bend IN in the middle of the winter going through mountains ( I- 40) where some passes can be icy and even require mandatory tire chains....don't want to do that...about 1900 miles
As an alternative I can go south and take I-10, I-20 then I-44 through Oklahoma City...still 2000 miles but I don't know if this route still has issues in the winter.....anybody know better ?
Another option is to find a place to rent where I can plug the coach in for 3 months (20 amp should do to keep the batteries charged) and come again get it in March April and drive it home......
Does anybody know of a place that I can rent a spot in to accomplish that ?
Any advice Newell gurus ?
