Default Checking out 82 FC35 in AL

Hi all,
I’m in the process of buying an 82 FC35 in Gulf Shores, AL from Greg Comer. So far everything sounds good. Tires, batteries, air bags in the last 2yrs. Also has had kingpins done, fridge replaced in 90’s and recent work on the fridge coils. It is mostly original. It does have some cosmetic paint issues due to pressure washing, cracked windshield and cab AC not working.

Is anyone familiar with this coach or local and willing to take a look? I spoke with Clay Sampley and he had done some work on it and said it was in pretty good shape and mechanically reliable.

I edited the original post I'm hoping to find any history on this coach if possible. Current owner has had for ~14yrs.

Welcome to the group! I am 200 miles away, so not real convenient. I would suggest taking a trip to look at it yourself to begin with. Let the owner operate all the systems and go for a ride. There are pre-purchase checklists on here. It is pretty normal for the bus AC to be INOP. Mine doesn't work and I removed the compressor. I run the roof AC's. All these machines will need something.

ALSO and a BIG ALSO, plan on spending at least $10,000 for initial repairs and updates.
