Subject: Expenses Author: Lee [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09/ 25/ 09, 4:19pm Hello, Years ago 2 family members had Bluebird coaches. I loved them. I am now retired and looking to purchase a used Bluebird. It will be my full time home for the next several years. For several years I've spent about 6 months at a time in a small class A coach. I've found a well maintained FC 35 that I am thinking of purchasing. I'm trying plan for up keep expenses. I'm thinking of putting 10K aside to start and then adding $500.00 a month for upkeep. Will this be enough to keep the coach in good condition? I have adequate funds if more is needed. Thank you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Expenses Author: Mike Hohnstein [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 27/ 09, 7:47am Your budget is adequate, however I recommend focusing on 87 and newer FC's or consider an SP. They are generally more servicable, and that is important. 86 and older tend to be more neglected due to the difficulty of working on the engine. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Expenses Author: Lee [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09/ 30/ 09, 10:45am Thank you for the advise. I was looking at a 1983. The photos looked good and the owner said it was well maintained. I took a diesel mechanic friend with me to look at it. It did not look as good when we inspected it. To put in top shape would have required a lot of work. Owner insisted it was in top condition and wanted top dollar. I decided I wasn't interested. Still looking for now.
