On The Hunt

If you can come up with $25,000 for that 4106 I'd find away to come up with a little more and buy the late Sonnie Gray's Eagle! He recently passed away and his family is asking $30,000 for his coach.
Sonnie was a hell of a guy and it's an awesome piece of equipment that he put a lot of time & money into!
I can assure you that it's a very good deal for the $!

Let me put my two cents in, you can do a lot on the inside for just a little money. When you start working on the coach hold on.
The Eagle that belonged to Sonnie is a get in and go with no need for repairs. If you had an Eagle coach you couldn't make the improvements that Sonnie did for less than $50,000.
If you spend the money now and get a modern looking coach that is in good shape you will be far ahead of the game. Don't make the mistake of buying something that needs some work, because if it need some it turns into a lot.

I have a 4106. Have had it for 25 years but don't use it often enough.I would look at the one in Ocala. Has newer tires (worth $2500). If it seems mechanically sound I would offer the guy 10 grand leaving you 5 grand for upgrades, repairs etc. He did say he was open to offers and the worst he could say in no. I know the 4 spd isn't as nice as an automatic but it also is less complex.

I don't think the market these days for buses is that robust.

After buying two, here is some general do not does. Do not plan on upgrading the drive train or transmission. If you do not want to go up hill slow, and it has a 6V71 or 8V71 do not buy it. The only way it is going to do 70 mph is down hill with a tail wind, and forget altitude. You will be doing 20 mph on a hill. If you haven't spent years shifting one of these, do not buy a 4 speed. You will want an automatic real fast. If you want your wife to drive it, don't buy a 4 speed.

Have to agree, interior fixes are cheap and do it yourself. Any changes to the drive train will exceed what you paid for the coach. Buy the best mechanically sound bus you can find.

It seems that really good 35' units are harder to find than 40' ones. There are some really nice 40'ers out there as has been mentioned here. If you think you will want a 40'er at some point, just start there. Very few RV owners have said they should have bought something smaller, most buy larger within a couple years.

Hello, Jack I'm trying to help my brother find a 35 ft coach one of his friends had a MC5 about 15 yrs ago and he really liked it so if you haven't sold it message me please, He is worrying me to death about a coach he has never owned one before. Richard

A little bit out of your price range but making an offer can never hurt. Located 50 miles north of Denver.
