Health problems require the sale of our coach. After January we plan to formally advertise at a firm price of $40,000 (actually $39,999 ); if I can't get that price it will be gifted to a family member. I figure it'll cost $1,500-$2,000 to sell, Soooo:
Anyone SERIOUSLY interested at $38,000, "AS-IS", may contact me now off-Barth-site at xxxxxxx@xoxo.com to initiate a discussion of any and all details plus pictures, etc.

Gunner, all I can say is that at the price you are willing to take, it should be gone before the weekend. Wish I was in the market!!!

Will you let them take it on a test drive?
Is it blue or black?

DITTO! I love our Stagecoach but I'd love to move up to a one of the newest Barths out there.

For what it's worth I paid $50,000 for my 1998 38' in August this year, 77K miles. I know the market has softened since I bought my rig. I have needed to put about $3K into the unit as it was not as advertised, coming from a dealer and not a private person, who would have taken better care of it.

So your price is very fair for a 1997 from a private owner.

Good luck

Tom

FWIW: I think it's a steal.

If you've been on our site for any length of time, you would know how Gunner is when it comes to maintenance issues. My personal thoughts... if Gunner is 1/2 as thorough as I believe him to be, the coach is very well maintained.

My "less than tactful" mouth has gotten me in trouble with Gunner in the past regarding the "new style" Barths. I just want to say, after seeing Corey and Cheri's beautiful coach at the GTG, these are incredible coaches, with every bit of the class and finish of all the Barths built over the years. If I was in the position financially and looking for something of this caliber, I'd be on the plane tomorrow!

What we need here is the ability to trade like professional sports. Several members could trade up and down as long as it involved me ending up with the 97 Barth and Gunner with the moula! Do we have an agent here that can work this out?

Gunner: I am interested in your coach...Could you send me Photos and the complete data sheet...? I am in Alaska and want a newer coach in the next three-six months. If the coach looks right for my needs I could be on a flight to take a look...If you would provide me your Number I will call... Fairbanks-AK

Is it blue or black?
No; of course not (one of the advantages of selling it "too cheap").
Sikkens Midnight Sapphire Blue which appears black in all but bright sunlight or Commercial Parking-lot high intensity lights, when it is metallic Blue-black, thus "Midnight Sapphire"; Metallic Silver middle and Royal Blue lower. (Still have one pint each of original touch-up paint (3 colors); sloshes when moved, so I assume it is good).

NOW: Black Beauty is moving from Texas to Iowa. Or, will be, when the deal is complete in mid- January. Put another way: I have a ring and a date but no contract (a deposit has been received). The prospective Bride and Groom will post a wedding announcement when the deal is consummated . Those of you who expressed an interest will hear from me if there is any change. Best wishes G

I just received this email from Gunner.

Bill: The Barth sale is complete and it is on the way to Iowa. I'll ask you to post or delete the "For Sale" notice.
