Opps!...'95 Magna...not '85 CC Magna...Thoughts? Good/Bad?

Yahoo Message Number: 19783
Looking at an '95 36' CC Magna with the 300HP Cummins 6CTA8.3 6 spd Allison with 44,000 miles. Any thoughts? This is a bit older than I am looking at but it appears to be extremely clean...like new (as they say!).

These also are still quite pricey for their age...worried it might depreciate relatively quickly now that it is 20 years old?

Is the '95 Cummins a 4 cycle diesel? What is the general thought on this engine and transmission combination?

E-mail any thoughts on value...Wholesale is $63K...Retail is $89K.
Any thoughts would be appreciated...Thanks...Tom Rootness in Northern Minnesota

We have 58,000 miles on our 38' Gillig Chassis with 300HP C8.3L cummins.

Very happy with the Coach. Price ranges you quote seem reasonable.
Condition is key.

Depreciation on newer coaches is probably $10k per year or more including the immediate discount to trade in value at the purchase date. If you keep this unit for 7 years and it is worth zero (not likely) at the end, you have not done badly in comparison.
