"But, if I was that confident in both, I wouldn't need a pre-inspection or a 400 page checklist."
I am not sure I follow the logic there.? What I am trying to do is avoid what you just described as happening to you.?
And protect myself from any "false" confidence.?
If I follow your logic then it leads to the inescapable conclusion that all Mhs are junk and there is nothing a buyer can/should/ought to do to minimize problems down the road.? I am not quite ready to draw that conclusion and while I see cases of people who have had misfortune in their dealings; I also see plenty of cases of people who have successfully winded there way through the maze and come out the other end satisfied.? Up until today, I though you were one of those folks after reading many prior messages from you here.? It seemd to me you had a plan for dealing with each new surprise and did not let setbacks defeat you.
"Don't recall asking that question. Maybe it was someone else?"
Tom said to Smoky up above "From your prior comments, it sounds like you're prepared to hand over the check and drive away with a coach that may have problems before you leave the lot."
I was just responding to that comment.? I am indeed prepared to let most problems wait for the two week revisit, but if I uncover what I feel are "major" problems I will not hand over the check.? I really do not expect any major problems, but it can happen and sometimes does.
"BTW the dealer's process that you described sounds very good."
Well I am doing everything in my power to control the process and bring it to a good fruition.? I owe a ton to everyone here on the forum, for almost everything I have learned has come from all of you.
This whole process feels almost like I am trying to buy a Navy battleship with all its complex weapons systems, navigation systems, galley, utilities, living quarters, etc.? Not at all like buying a car.
