RE: 06 450 on ebay
I think you are mistaken on the prices of a 2001 to 2004 Prevost with slides. A 2004 will set you back $325K to $400k based on condition. A decent 2001 will cost you $225K and up. Don't use EBay as a market place price guide. Go to Prevost-Stuff.com or Prevostcommunity.com to get the realistic pricing levels of a Prevost.

A 2001 LXi in top shape will bring $140K. A neglected 2001 LXi you might find for around $100k but you'll spend the difference zeroing it out and back to reliable condition. Don't confuse an LX with an LXi....

As regards Prevost vs Bluebird, it is hard for me to compare due to the model years of Bluebirds that I owned. The '04 M380 would be the closest model year but that would be like comparing apples to oranges as the M380 was a less expensive (half price) model as compared to an LXI. Also, it was only 38' long compared to my 45' Marathon. The two LXi(s) I owned were older than my Prevost. They had solid (stick) front axles as compared to IFS on the Prevost. So they drove differently but both drove/drives well. I would give the edge to the Prevost. I'm sure that the Wanderlodge chassis and framework is superior in strength to a Prevost as they are built like a tank. Be glad you're in a Wanderlodge if you ever have an accident.

I would guess the M450 will compare closest to a Prevost conversion but I've never driven or inspected one so I don't know if that's true or not.

I like my Prevost/Marathon better because there are several Prevost and Marathon service centers located across the country where I can get it serviced or repaired by knowledgeable Technicians.
