My husband and I have figured out we want a used shorter gas Class A. We found one at La Mesa in Tucson that fits the bill. However there were some things that bothered me as we were moving toward closing the deal and I wanted to sleep on it. So I'm hoping for some sage advice on here.
Unit is a 2000 Fleetwood Flair. No leveling jacks. No rearview camera. It appears to be a super clean unit. Loved the test drive and looked over the parts we could get to with a fine tooth comb. During the sales process though it was discovered the original owner accidentally left his house key and not the basement keys and therefore "we couldn't look at the basement." When I asked if they could try to call the owner to rectify the key issue they said no. This really bothered me. Then we were told it would have a 30 day warranty during the sale and then told it was "wrong" when we sat down...they told us they'd give us a 15 day for the "confusion."Part of the deal was also new tires (Hancock's). It's got 60k miles on it. There were several little "red flags" that bugged me. They were minor...but it caused me to walk out to sleep on it when we got to the table. I felt like they were getting a little creative with their numbers. We are not financing through them and still it felt a little...creative to me. They told us it was a single owner but were evasive about prior receipts. Said it had all manuals.
Can anyone chime in on this? This is our first RV purchase and we don't want to purchase a problem. We want a fair price and not to break down on our first trip anywhere (who doesn't want that right?)
Thanks to anyone who can chime in!
