Actually, I will start out with a "none of the above" IF, repeat IF you are looking at older coaches.

Condition and particularly maintenance records become more and more important as a coach ages. Did it sit in a field for three years, or was it driven and maintained throughout it's life?

I do mechanical inspections on coaches. I would much rather see a client pay 1.4 times "book" for a nice older coach with full maintenance records than to buy one for .8 of "book" for one that has had 10 years of neglect and will quickly eat up that extra money and still leave them with a less than desirable coach.

Newer coaches-- book becomes more relevant. For bankers "book" is the focus of their interest.

Brett,

thanks for your advice. If we trade "up" will go with '09-'10 model.
