06 450 on ebay

[Bigdipper40]

Hi, I'm a brand new member of the forum but I have wanted to own a Bluebird for a long time.

I am considering putting an offer in on the 2006 that's listed on EBay. I have spent the last couple days researching the front axle issues. From information that I have found it appears that the modifications that were done to get the weight below 16k on the front axle make the coach much less desirable.

I would really appreciate some input from the people on this forum. Is there members here that are owners of the affected coaches or someone that has followed the recalls and repair attempts?

Another question is service. Servicing the Cat engine should'nt be a problem but what about the chassis and electrical systems? I'm trained in HVAC and I'm pretty fair general handyman but there is going to be a issues that will require professional assistance. Is there service still available? I'm located in Las Vegas.

Thanks in advance for your input.
