Duplicate. Must have grown a new engine. Note the phone number. Original Miami CL ad gone but photos are the same. Call the number and see if you get a person named Mitch .

Thanks for cleaning that up for me Kevin. I sincerely appreciate it.

Beware of this one. See here:

ad reads:
" Very nice condition would drive this anywhere today."
perhaps should be changed to: "suitable to be towed somewhere someday." if, as alleged (upon inspection): The engine would not turn over. The coach is a dirty, unkept, unserviced mess, with trashed tires.

wow i have been watching this column for along time i never will get use to all the sarcasam used!

This is precisely the problem I mentioned in the "Buyer beware" thread. After enough of these flaky ads and the disappointing results some of us have become rather jaded about the whole business. Time and time again we see coaches represented as for sale by owner and they are in RV lots on consignment, etc. They are dirty inside, poorly maintained, blurry photos but described as in "great condition" ready to drive.

I guess after all we should remember these are 25+ year old vehicles, caveat emptor. It would be nice to see more authentic ads here, though.

Good luck to all you persistent Barth shoppers! I hope you can wade through the mess to get what you want.

Actually, Mogan David's post isn't sarcastic - it's a direct quote from someone who planned to buy the coach until he saw its condition, which was described very inaccurately in the ads.
