Would you buy this Lazy Daze October 10, 2015, 08:42:07 am Yahoo Message Number: 156304The owner back into one of those concrete poles and it won. I talked to Lazy Daze and they said they can send a new bumper but to be VERY careful of any damage beyond cosmetic to the bumper. The side view of the damage shows that it was pushed down and I believe there must have also been upward movement on this bumper as well which could have damaged the back wall a bit.Does it look like the damage is where there is a supporting structure located?What would you pay for this unit?2007 Lazy Daze M26, Sarasota FL - - RVtrader.com
Re: Would you buy this Lazy Daze Reply #1 – October 10, 2015, 09:48:03 am Yahoo Message Number: 156305With regard to this obvious damage, yes, I would buy this LD for something less than $30K.The sale would be contingent on a thorough Pre-Purchase Inspection, Records Check and a Clear Title (Not Salvage).Regardless of the lack of a Salvage Title, the Coach would always have a Damage History, and would need to be disclosed on a subsequent sale. It is arbitrary to put a loss of value on the damage but it would be evident if trying to resell during a "Buyer's Market".Good Luck,Patrick New LD'er 2000 MB 26

(Any used RV should be carefully inspected before buying anyway, but damage of this type needs special attention.) The damage to the bumper *may* just be cosmetic, but the LD bumper is pretty sturdy, and the photos indicate that it took a substantial hit. I would *not* rely on any assurances from the dealer (or the owner) that the back end didn't sustain collateral damage.As always, YMMV.Joan
Re: Would you buy this Lazy Daze Reply #3 – October 10, 2015, 10:40:36 am Yahoo Message Number: 156307The RV is at a dealership. Request more and better pictures of the damaged area. The pictures in the add don't have enough resolution to make a decision. Needed are pictures of the Aluminum skin on the back of the RV from two or three angles behind the damage, pictures from two ro three angles of the back drivers side near the bumper, and pictures from underneath of the area around the damage and the bumpers support. If the body appears straight in the pictures spend the money on someone to check out the damage and rest of the RV. If the skin is buckled walk away. I would also ask for pictures of the roof seams and the caulking around the vents. A LD of this vintage should be looking at resealing the roof for the first time. It might have been done already, but might still need doing. Florida sun is tough on paint and roof coatings. The independent guy checking out the RV should look over the roof from the outside as well but some pictures will let you know if there are any glaring things going on and may save you the cost of an independent appraiser.
