This is at least the third time I've seen this Kingsley for sale on EBay this year.

Low miles, 400 HP M11 and generating some bids but obviously not the reserve.

It lacks slides.

I await Geof's critique.

It has a "Buy It Now" of $85,000.

Is that low, medium or high priced?

Comments?

.....Spooner is correct-M11.....so is Blue Skies-NO slides.....this LOOKS LIKE a rebuilt?/wrecker?/upgraded unite without looking at it real close-I'd be vary suspicious and the price has a certain ring to it that says CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP.....maybe the coach has low miles but the drive line miles are also a concern.....Look carefully-buyer be aware- they were too lazy to take the decal off the seat-bet they are just unloading it.....The true story is always in the details as the COPS say.....geofkaye

Hey- it's a Kingsley. That tells you this: Stick-and-staple RV coach on a used truck(HOW used?)
No slide-outs? WHO CARES? They only make it harder to move around while retracted(like when you're driving), and just add something else to go wrong, and boy do they!
Just a few thoughts.....

Are the sticks normally made from alluminum?? like to see the staples used for those sticks...If anyone is REALLY interested in this rig just call and get the Kingsley serial number from them, call Kingsley, and get the scoop from them.. they can tell you all the original equipment on the machine... I looked at three of them in this age range with less than 100,000 original miles on them... makes sense to me.. 7,100mi/yr...I wouldn't drive it much more than that and we will be full timing ... I would think if someone could do without the slide outs this would be a pretty good buy. Their construction technique seems to be holding up so far. the 5spd auto is the only automatic conversion I know of for the older trucks without the electronics for the other autos.. it is a 750 allison I think.

if it is a "Pleasure by Kingsley" the NADA is:

Low Retail Average Retail
Base Price
$106,460 $128,270
TOTAL PRICE $106,460 $128,270


If it is a "Kingsley Custom" the NADA is:


April 6, 2005 print this page

Low Retail Average Retail
Base Price
$148,390 $178,780
TOTAL PRICE $148,390 $178,780

with no allowances for options
.
GOOD LUCK,
John

$78,600.00 was the highest bid but reserve still wasn't met.

Auction ended today.
How long it will be before it is back on EBay?

I would think that with the low miles and 400HP someone would buy it even without a slide.

....I think they found that the truck has more miles on it than the coach and that is how they arrived at the mileage-using the coach miles......geof kaye
