We're starting to look for a newer class A DP and was wondering if anyone has used a broker or has any experience in that area? We're also scouring the various websites, ebay, etc. but just curious about the broker option? If you have used, any recommendations?

Remember adding in a broker is just basically adding someone financially between you and the coach.......

I've brokered aircraft for buyers/sellers and Mike is right, however; if you aren't mechanically inclined, an option would be to hire a mechanic that is knowledgable on DPs. Unlike an aircraft the inspection and maintenance are optional so often times they are skipped or deferred until the next time......or the next

For the seller, a broker takes all the calls, and the seller pays the broker. Yes, that is usually factored into the price, but you also may be getting a less biased view. Randy Dupree has such a service for 'Birds ( www.buybyebluebird.com/ ) and he is one of the few places where one can go to buy a 'Bird. He doesn't actually have the coaches at his place, but he knows all about each one that he lists. A broker can be helpful in guiding the buyer to coaches that fit the buyer's needs, but it is still the buyer's responsibility to check the coach or hire someone to do it for him/her.
