I have a 2007 Tour but the TD version. Mine now has 80k miles on it with a Cummins ISL.
Regarding the price, the problem is getting a loan if needed. I've tried to refinance mine at a lower rate a number of times but get rejected because what I owe is greater than the value.
A few items to check as they are problematic on my coach:
1. levelers - do they retract quickly when extended?
2. Does the auto leveler feature really level the coach? (bring a small level from home)
3. Norcold refrig - have the back coils been replaced? They are known to leak and cause a FIRE! I changed mine with a Amish set of coils.
4. Coach batteries - see if you can stay in the coach overnight with the furnace going. Do the batteries still have power in the morning?
5. Not sure about the CAT's, but with a Cummins, the exhaust manifold can leak or crack. Look for black soot between the manifold and the engine block. (just replaced my cracked manifold).
6. Tires - even with good tread, if the original tires are on it, you need to replace them as they have aged out.
7. Any aftermarket adds? Steering stabilizer, MCU's, surge protector
8. Radio - my original equipment one stinks especially on Sirius.
9. Slides outs - have them shoot a garden hose at them both open and closed. Look for water coming in.
10. In motion satellite - you can bring your satellite receiver box from home and hook it up. See if you get signal and a picture. Mine went bad a few times and finally got replaced under an extended warranty.
11. backup and side cameras - see if work. Side cameras get moisture under the lens at times.
12. Filters - oil, two fuel, air ($250 for that one!), air dryer - should all be new for you. Also furnace filter inside the coach.
13. Serpentine belt - broke three times. Carry a spare!
14. AC - make sure works. Mine froze and caused one of the serpentine belt brakes!
That should give you enough ammo to get their price down!!
Good luck! Feel free to PM with any questions.
