Correct.

He who buys a Chevy doesn't get a Cadillac ... but they do get a *GM* vehicle.

And he who buys an Inspire doesn't get a CC Prevost ... but they do get a *COUNTRY COACH* motorhome.

Bill, with all due respect......"protect your investment" What does that mean????? Our coaches are not an investment, unfortunately. Your purchased a lifestyle and a depreciating asset. What does the value of the Inspire have to do with the value of your Magna? (or my Affinity) Candace

Ree,

Not gonna happen. When I got with the finance guy, they changed the deal and I didn't like the new one and neither did the bank. 8-( So, will wait a while and save a little $$ and stick with Guaranty to buy my next coach. At least they stuck with the same deal after we talked.

Candace,

In this industry some of the trade value and resale value is based on the value of the brand. Certain brands are harder to sell then other brands because of their reputation for problems and service. This is a very close industry and when people complain the word gets around. Back in 1999 we owned a 96 Safari which was a great coach but we traded to a CC because Safari was beginning to have problems and the 98s and 99 were awful. I was president of Safari East, a FMCA chapter of 200 Safari owners and all I heard was bitching, some of it justified and some of it not. We loved the Safari Club, they had great parties, some of the best in the industry but when we decided to trade we went to a CCI rally (just for the day) walked around and asked everyone we saw what they thought of CC. That's when we decided CCI was for us. That was before CC ever thought about building chaises for some National models or entry level coaches. At some of the 2002 rallies we had people coming in with National coaches saying they had CCs when all they had was a light weight CC chaise. About a year later that program was abandon in favor of building an entire new CC called the Inspire. The Inspire was also after another try at an entry level coach called, and I can't remember the name, sorry. That coach did not go over well either. This is CCs third attempt to get into a lower price line and the first year is always the worst for any brand not only CC.
So all I'm trying to say is that the value of your coach for resale is also based on what people think of the brand. Just tell somebody you drive a CC and see their eyes light up. When we picked up our new 2005 Magna we were bitching at the rally about some of the quality control problems and some of my old line CC friends did not want to hear that. So I eventually just told the factory people.
To this day the Safari line and several other brands are harder to sell. Our old Magna was only at Lazy Days about 45 days and it sold for more then many new or used high end coaches on the lot. There must be some reason for that. Sure we did not get all our money back, but we got our monies worth in the pleasure of driving a CC and our CC friends.and staff. You can't take it with you, and if my kids get any money when I'm gone, I miscaluated. Just kidding guys! Hope my kids don't see this.
Take care

My husband and I are Bob and Sandra Peterson. We purchased a 40 ft. Magna 2000 (Coach 5892) from the original owner and have had our share of problems and I have at times been concerned if we had done the right thing. It is messages from owners like you that make me fully understand that no matter what coach you buy, you will have x number of problems. Our coach is a single galley slide and we love it. Are planning to travel out west this year. Hope to meet you somewhere along the way. We live in Largo, Florida - where are you located. Don Page wrote: Candace ....

I think it is a shame that this thread has come to this....we are all in a CC family, no matter what model we own. IMHO, somehow when people start complaining, then other people react in different ways. You, Eric had a substantial list (after nitpicking from the guy you hired) it was 300+ item (staples etc included). BUT to be fair to CC, they did fix ALL of your items before you left....isn't that correct?
We own an 05 Affinity and believe me, your problems are not unique to your coach or to the Inspire line. We have had our problems as well. I have not and will not air all of these issues to the world, if asked by another owner about specific things I will discuss the items and share our experience. But to write on the board or sit in the CC customer service lounge and complain about every little detail doesn't do anyone any good. Not you, or another Inspire owner as their problems could be completely different than yours.
A CC is a CC no matter where it falls in the line-up. People own different models for different reasons based on variables in the lives. An Inspire owner is no different from a Prevost owner.....maybe one has more money that the other......and then again, maybe not! It all depends on each and every person's priorities in life. The Inspire may choose pay cash and the Magna or Affinity owner may have a substantial loan against his coach.......and maybe not,......maybe it is the other way around. The long and the short of it is......we ALL own a Country Coach, we are ALL a family of sorts and we should just be nice and all try to get along and help each other out. This board is a good example of people helping each other and sharing information. I have been a member of this board for a few years and I have never seen the likes of this thread! We all should just be thankful that we are able to own a luxury item like a CC. Sincerely Candace Hollick vote.yahoo.com - Register online to vote today! Yahoo!

Hi Bob and Sandra, Welcome to the CC family. I am sure that you are enjoying your Magna...do you do a lot of traveling? You might look to see where there is a CC Rally that you can attend, if you haven't done that already. You can go to www.countrycoach.com and sign up to join Country Coach International known as CCI. We live in Southern California but we seem to travel quite a bit, so maybe we will meet up somewhere.
