Considering buying a 1991 Dolphin (V6 3Liter). I don't wish to get into 4 cyl vs. 6 cyl comparisons, but interested in comparing value of Dolpin V6 vs similar non-Dolphin V6, and interested in feedback on the following features for pricing: Features: 70K miles No leaks and body in good shape Engine is clean and runs smooth with 17 mpg on flat highways Has all the usual features (roof A/C, furnace, 4-burner, stove, fridge, usual bathroom) and interior (carpet, drapes/blinds, soafa, table) in good condition. Has following optional items: Microwave, TV w antenna and DVD, Tow hitch for future portable generator Does not have: Generator or awning Maintenance and new items added: New propane tank, new coach water pump, new coach thermostat/ignitor assembly for water heater, new coach battery, new tires, and recent maintenance of following: resealing roof and seams, brakes, transmission fluid flush, radiator fluid flush, spark plugs/timing, all engine hoses and belts including timing belt, and the recall work for head gasket was done at 50k. Not maintained yet: Valve adjustment Unknowns: Not sure of age of Air Conditioner, and not sure if/when wheel bearings were repacked Now, when comparing prices with similar dolphins and with non-dolphins, and noting the above maintenance and features (or features lacking),and trying to make true apples-to-apples comparisons on prices, is $8,800 about right for this? And why or why not? Thanks for your forthcoming feedback.
