Caution, Caution -> 2000 Safari Continental
Now according to NADA that's about 30K less than low book.
Getting a 2000 Safari Continental for
free, along with a $1000 bonus would be overpaying and you would be acquiring a coach that would lead you into a maze of problems that have
no resolution ie cannot be fixed.
I know a number of people first hand who have owned these, and can list several basic construction issues with that coach that could not be corrected by the Safari and later by Monaco factory service.
They include faulty brakes that overheat and seize, front and rear caps that cannot be secured resulting in constant cracked windshields and side panel windows. The window manufacturer no longer exists, BTW so if you break a side window, you're on your own. There are a number of internal errors in wiring, for which there are no wiring diagrams, and the list goes on and on.
I have never been known as a supporter of Safari products because of my own first hand experience with a defective coach, but the information I am citing on the 2000 Continental comes from first hand information from people I know personally.
They were dumped at a great loss to their original owners in exchange for other brands, and now they are finding their way into the used market where unsuspecting first time buyers might be caught buyiing a very sour lemon.
