Non-member Classified Listings - 2017
Instead of clouding up the general with multiple threads of every listing I see,  I'll go ahead and keep posting here.  This seems to work pretty well for the FWC truck camper folks where I've spent my last few years....

Great idea!

Upper New York is a beautiful part of the country and may be a worthwhile road trip for any members on the East Coast looking for an LD. When I was a small child, we lived in Rome, NY for a couple of years as my father was stationed at the old Griffiss AFB, now closed down. Yes, I was an Air Force brat!

Gotcha,  went live to the rest of the world now I guess.

Sometimes the single threads can be convenient though,  just have to go to the end to see what's new on the outside.

Yes, Mc, this is good way to give visibility to non-member classifieds. Thanks for starting the thread.

"DONT ASK THOUSAND QUESTIONS IF YOUR PICKY PERSON KEEP LOOKING"

Maybe people ask too many question about why the engine and transmission have already been rebuilt when it has only 60,000 miles on the odometer. It's a lightweight, E350, which is easier on the engine and transmission than the heavier E450s.
It might have been used to pull an overweight trailer or toad, no other good reason why both the engine and transmission would be worn out at 60,000 miles, unless it wasn't maintained. 
The exterior looks OK, as much as the low resolution photos allow judging.
The new tires are an off brand.
It must have been stored for long periods, considering how low the miles are and that it is 27 years old.

I would want to know a lot about who rebuilt the engine and transmission and then have it inspected by a
knowledgeable Ford mechanic.
Lots of questions to ask, I guess I'm too picky .

Seller certainly has a way with words ... clever chap.  A few years ago, I might have contacted them, introduced myself and then mention I had 5 pages of questions.  But not anymore.

I could be wrong, but I get the feeling the owner of that rig might have had an encounter with a certain someone from this group (she bought a rig recently) who was getting tutored by the group on how to shop for an older Lazy Daze and she drove him over the edge. :D

Would have liked being a fly on the wall during that encounter!

Maybe so, but, IMO, a smart buyer has a responsibility to exercise thorough due diligence when checking out a purchase of any type, and particularly when buying anything with wheels! If this translates as "being picky", count me among the tribe!

However, a buyer (and seller!) needs to make distinctions between minor cosmetic or easily/inexpensively remedied issues and potentially serious, big ticket deal-breakers that compromise the sale value; both sides need to know what to look for, how to realistically assess condition, and at least a ballpark concept of the amount of work, money, and the skill set needed to effect the fixes. And this knowledge is particularly critical if one intends the rig to be one's home!

Additionally, a buyer (and seller!) should be aware of the advantages, disadvantages, and "quirks" of a particular chassis/engine, model year, and floor plan; questions on those topics have been asked and answered many times on this forum (and on its previous incarnation) by experienced, savvy people, and there's no shortage of all sorts of information from additional web sources.  It can be tedious, time-consuming, and often frustrating to research essential information, and I do understand the "want it now" factor, but not being appropriately "picky" (and/or relying on a seller to candid and straightforward about a rig's issues) is a lot more likely to result in a buyer's walking away with a wart-infested POS rather than a cream puff.

So, be "picky", buyers; be "picky" about the right stuff, but be "picky"!  ;)

Talk about a red flag! In what world is a $9800 purchase such a casual thing that one can afford to make it without being picky?

It's a vehicle and housing for a buyer, so besides the money, security and safety, financial and public liability are at stake.

So right you are Joan. Anyone willing to put their stuff on the block to be sold has two options. Sell it or trash it.

Buying a pig in a poke is not advisable and any seller not willing to answer the endless barrage of questions from potential buyers has no business selling anything to the public.

I think the Grinch had the right attitude. More sellers need to grow a thicker skin or take their junk to the dump.

Wow they updated it. Works much better now. I had deleted it because I didn't like how it worked before.
