  Buyer be aware! Traveled from Calgary to see what inventory they had for Class A motor homes, it was a three hour return trip. Keep in mind these range 100K to 180K, even up from that. My wife and I looked through what they had. We were genuinely interested in a few. A couple of them were less than 150k, we were interested in one that was in the show room but wanted to rule out the other two first. So, we said we would like to see two of the units with the slides out and then we would also want to go for a test drive. Salesman says, sorry we don’t do test drives. I’m like, you’re kidding, right? He says no, even when buy a corvette you can’t take it for a test drive. Obviously, he has never purchased a corvette. Try phoning the dealers, they have demo units! I say, ok so I will never buy a used 150k vehicle without taking it for a test drive. Previously I have test drove a few units and they had issues, transmission noises, steering troubles or I just didn’t like the feel of it on the road. With that kind of a spend I should be sure about what I’m buying. Salesman says, we need to make a deal on a unit, when we come with the cash to pick the unit up we can take it for a drive. He tells me the issue is that the windshields are expensive. Over the last few years I had a 36’ unit, drove it to California a couple of times, guess what, no windshield issues. I think these guys have a dealership plate or an insurance issue. Either way, don’t be misled like blind sheep, don’t buy any used vehicles you can’t test drive, maybe even twice! Wakeup people, there are a lot of dealers who encourage a test drive.
