- Worth noticing
- The buyer requested a cold-start clip, roof and slide-seal photos; the broker sent them within two days, while service history remained thin.
Field notes
The poster says they compared dealer asking prices around the Twin Cities and Forest City, then used trade-in estimates to set a bid. The coach was at a Houston lender yard, while the planned handoff was in Karnes City; the buyer arranged to collect it on the route to Mission rather than have it delivered to Minnesota. Replies add practical engine and first-week inspection advice.
