1999 country coach intrigue with gillig chassis

Checking on this coach with 248k miles.  Seems like a lot of miles, too much to purchase?  New to forum and country coach in general.  Thank you for feedback 28,500

Diesel pusher engines (especially Cummins or Caterpillar) are designed for 500,000+ miles or even over a million miles with good maintenance.

Given the mileage, it suggests it’s been used regularly, which is better than a coach that sat idle.

The real thing to look at is a 1999 is 25+ years old, so suspension, drive train, air systems and chassis components may be nearing end-of-life or needing rebuilds, so what has been done to those areas to keep them up to date.  Much of that is  DIY area, but if you can't do it yourself you will spend 20+ easy to get everything updated (if its not been done already)
