We are very interested in a 36to 40 foot pusher. we think a 1986 to 1990 is about what we are looking for.we were wondering if the resale on a bird this old would be a problem in say five years. We would like to find one that would not cost a pile of cash immediatley after purchase.

A 10 to 15 year old BB is probably depreciated down to its lower valve, its' value is based on condition, condition, condition, past maintenance and what upgrades have been already performed. This is a much better value than any other plastic Motorhome at a much later model year.

So, My "guess" is that it will be worth the same or less, given that 10 to $20K is invested to keep it safe, in good condition and up to speed mechanically, over the next 5 years. During this economy, this is a great time to shop.
Now, Do not forget this is great fun, adventure and recreation, Not much in return for your fun. Not an investment, just an expense for travel & more fun.
But no expense $$$ for air fare, rental car, motel, and lesser $$ spent in restaurants.
If an RV is in your future, do investigate a BlueBird Bus Motorhome, You will get quality, safety, and dependability, and peace of mind. Review the classified section of this Forum and the several other Wanderlodge forums, Vintage Bird Forum members are usually very contentious of repair, maintenance and condition.
It would be a good idea to attend a BB Rally, several are held each year through-out the States. As it is difficult to roam around to see feel and touch a Bird.
