Karolina Koaches has the best prices and the most feedback for an RV dealer in the South!!
WE USUALLY HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS ON EBAY FOR SALE.
Typically, we have the lowest prices... ANYWHERE.
When you combine our prices and our eBay feedback, we are the BEST..
We basically sell Used driveable RVs along with some travel trailers and other items that we take in on trade or use around our store.
During business hours we can be reached at the telephone at the store, 864-845-1462 or toll free 866 381 4279.
At Karolina Koaches we try our best to describe our items accurately. This is how we maintain our GREAT feedback for over 1000 transactions, we describe the good and the BAD.
We have GREAT feedback because we do NOT sell brand new or perfect items. We maintain GREAT feedback because we describe accurately. If there is a fault we TRY our best to state the fault or have a picture of the fault. Please do not assume anything, if it is not described then it does not work or does not exist. Please do not assume that we check everything.
Karolina Koaches is generally open for viewing of RVs Monday - Friday 10:00-4:00, and Saturday 10 - 4.
The item you are bidding on can be picked up Monday - Friday from 9 - 4 ONLY. Generally it takes 1-2 hours to complete the sale process of a coach. Ebay items cannot be picked up after these hours, thank you for understanding, and looking at our items.
If you do NOT call to set up an appointment after purchase, then your item may NOT be ready for pickup. We typically sell about 30 units per month to ebayers, and local buyers. Scheduling is important. If you just show up, you might arrive when another ebayer is already here and we might be too busy to wait on you, that is, if another ebayer has called to set up appointment and we are busy with them. So, please for your benefit, call to set up an appointment so we can have your item ready for delivery to save you time.
After hours cell phone:
Bob 864 245 2454.
Now about this item...
GENERALLY, the item that you are viewing is a REPO unit. This means that this is your chance to own a great USED item for a very low price. This also means that there is usually TLC needed, since GENERALLY it is a REPO unit. So, please do not expect new or perfect or barely used, please expect a decent 10 year old item.
I purchased this truck with 80k miles on it. I have had the fluids changed as they should.
Just recently, I hope all the fluids changed.
This includes the following:
Antifreeze,
Transmission fluid and filter,
Engine oil and filter,
Transfer case,
Front and rear differentials.
The injectors were changed about 20k miles ago.
The truck runs and drives great.
The truck looks great because we have kept it up and we always try to take care of it.
IF, IF, the odometer said 80k miles I think that anyone would believe that it was actual miles. It is really hard to believe that this truck has 190k miles .... whenever you look at it..
This truck has been well cared for with the all maintenance necessary, NO problems.
As you can see in the pictures of the interior, the driver even shows very little wear. This is the orignal seat and material, no one has ever repaired the seat. We have always tried to take car of this truck.
Now, I guess, that I must say, that this truck is not new and it is not perfect, but, this truck is super nice to be 10 years old.
The 6.6 liter Duramax DIESEL engine runs as it should, no problems.
We have also installed so extra items on the engine for increased performace.
4 inch exhaust, downtube, front to rear
Banks Brand Power commander with a dial knob for 6 stages, more power and better fuel economy
According to Banks, 100 + more horsepower.
The Allison 5 speed automatic overdrive transmission shifts great also, no problems.
We did NOT check every single light, drawer, storage door latch etc. Hopefully, they are good. We feel that since this motorhome is a repo and we are selling for a low profit, we are NOT planning to check or go over everything. WE can not cover, repair, or go over it all and make very little or low profit. So, our theory is to sell a lot at very little profit. This is good for you because it gives you a chance to own a RV for a VERY LOW price.
Since we are usually selling for a low price, we feel that you can do some of the cleaning and repairs yourself or pay someone to do it for you. Typically, if you are willing to pay the Nada retail price we will be glad to cover or go over it all for you.
Please call us, if you need to know something, 866 381 4279.
Plan on doing some work and spending some $$ and we will both be happy at the end of the day..
I generally state, just to cover myself, this coach does look better in pictures than in person. I guess the lighting makes the units look better.
We liquidate our inventory and only do a basic mechanical check out. We sold over 350 units in 2008. We sold over 100 units in the 4th quarter alone!!! YES, we sold over 100 units in the supposedly worst economy ever. We are selling them because we are CHEAP. So we are unable to take enough time to completely check out every thing on each unit. We will make sure the engine, transmission, over head air conditioner, refrigerator, and the generator operate normally (if/when applicable). These are the items most people are concerned with. We will also preform a basic check on the drivetrain, which consist of a test drive to determine if the engine transmission and brakes seem to perform properly. We will repair what is necessary. The REST is up to you!!
The tires have good tread 16 inch wheels. The tires look good. The tires are BF Goodrich and they still have good tread.
When an appoitment is made to pick up your item, Karolina Koaches will have your item powered up so you can feel confident that the coach functions as described in this ebay ad. All that we require is a 48 hour notice so we can have your item ready for your arrival. If you fail to give us a 48 hour notice then we will NOT have adequate time to have your item powered up for your complete inspection.
I do not think you would have any trouble although I can NOT guarantee anything.
I now feel that I have described this coach bad. I would rather you to be happy and satisified than disappointed when you arrive.

Deposit
We require a $500 deposit within 1 day/ 24 hours of winning the auction, even on holiday weekends, since paypal is always open. Once the deposit has been received we will be happy to schedule an appointment for the pickup of your new item. Deposits are non refundable. The deposit is due PRIOR to pickup or within 24 hours, whichever comes first. If you fail to send the deposit prior to arrival we reserve the right to NOT sell the item to you. If we feel that you are trying to manipulate Karolina Koaches we reserve the right to NOT sell the item to you.
This is ebay, the prices are cheap, you do NOT get a retail experience because you are not paying retail price. If you do not follow our payment terms we reserve the right to NOT sell the item to you.
Future Buyers: The above item is being sold "as-is" with no guarantees written or implied unless you are purchaseing one of our new units which we will list in the desrpition as having a warranty. Unless we state warranty there is NO warranty. We ask all ebayers to view, and have the above unit inspected by a mechanic of your choice at your expense prior to the winning bid. The mechanic must inspect the unit at Karolina's lot.
At Karolina Koaches we ask that you realize that you are purchasing a used Motorhome, 5th-Wheel or tow behind trailer, in many cases for a lot less than retail. Just like any pre-owned vehicle there will be some dings, nicks, chips, scratches, fading and or peeling of the stripes and graphics and of course some normal wear and tear.
We try our best to describe our units in detail. Small items such as remotes, TV or key fob, floor mats, extra keys and cd cartridges may be missing, even though no stated as missing.
The Buyer is responsible for a $295.00 dealer service fee if inside the US and $495 dealer service fee for buyers outside the US (this helps to cover the costs such as pre vehicle, clean up, mailing, airport pick up, a 30 day SC temporary permit provided by Karolina Koaches, and any other related expenses.). For scheduling a pickup please allow a MINIMUM of 48 hours after the auction ends to pick up your coach, our reason why... we may already have others scheduled and no time to work you in for the necessary time required to cover the delivery of an item.
Please do NOT bid if you do not agree to these terms. If there is something that you do not agree or understand, please CALL or email us prior to bidding. Please do NOT bid if you are not pre-approved by your lending institution to complete the transaction. The winning bidder must contact us within 24 hours of the auction end either by phone or e-mail.
If we have NOT received the $500 NON- refundable deposit within the 24 hour timeframe, we will NOT sell the coach to the winning bidder.
If "eBay" has a documented outage within 2 hours of the auction end we reserve the right to not sell to the winning bidder (please note in 4 plus years this has only happened once).
Please be aware of the following:
NADA Book values, lengths of units, names, and model numbers are a point of reference only, it is the buyers responsibility to verify their purchase PRIOR to the departure of your item from Karolina Koaches. The balance is due within 5 days following the auction end or upon taking delivery, whichever comes first. If the balance is not paid in full in 3 days then an additional $250 will be charged, for item that was bid to less than $20,000.00, units bid $20,00.01 and higher the late payment fee is $450.00.
In addition to the above mention fees, the documentation fee is NOT discountable. Even though there are late payment penalties, Karolina reserve the right not to extend the payment terms. A late paid deposit is like paying late as well.. By paying on time there are no penalties.. please pay on time.
Please note that unit must be paid in full in order to have it delivered to you.
FAST PAY DISCOUNT: If vehicle is paid in full within 2 days of the auction end, we will discount the price $100. We also offer another $100 discount, please ask us!!
All buyers that reside out of the United Sates must pay by bank wire transfer or cash (in person) prior to the coach leaving our property. In some cases there may be a slight delay for title. When purchasing one of our items via eBay you agree that the venue for any legal proceedings will be in the County of Anderson South Carolina.
If you change your mind for any reason or decide to NOT purchase or try to return your item, we charge a 30% 'restock'ing fee.
Our units are available for sale locally on our 'lot' and we reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time and sell the item prior to auction end.
The decorations will be removed upon receipt of the deposit. If you desire to have the decorations please notify us at the time of the deposit, otherwise you will NOT have any decorations.
For the following optional 2 services I can start a Ebay auction for you to purchase so we both can receive feedback. If you desire either service just let me know, I will start a ebay auction for the service described and you can purchase it through Ebay. OPTIONAL SERVICES: We offer for your convenience two services: *** 1) $495 Prep Service: This includes filling the fuel tank with Gasoline($595 for diesel), filling the LP tank and water tanks *** 2) $75 Coach Essentials Kit: This includes: sewer hose, sewer odor cup, holding tank deodorizers, RV toilet paper, A/C adapter cord, water regulator, and a fresh water hose.
MECHANICAL: We work on and repair most mechanical functions with our coaches. But, due to stringent State and Federal regulations, we are not set up to repair or maintain dash A/C units. Thus we do NOT guarantee that any dash A/C units work. ALL A/C components are "AS IS". Most do work, but we will NOT be responsible for repairing of maintaining dash A/C components.
Also, we do not guarantee the following (if installed) will operate: 1) satellite systems 2) security systems 3) non-factory add-ons 4) we cannot guarantee tire life or wear 5) cruise control 6) spare tires are optional and are NOT standard equipment.
ADVERTISING ERRORS: Please be aware that we are NOT PERFECT. We go to great lengths to make sure our ads are correct, BUT occasionally we do make a mistake. If you do not see it in the picture, then it probably is NOT an option on the vehicle. If you do not see floor mats, then the vehicle probably does not have them. If we do not mention a keyless entry, then we most likely do not have the keyless remote even though the vehicle might have had one when new. If you are unsure about an option, then please e-mail me and I will confirm if it has that option.
SHIPPING: All sales are "AS IS, WHERE IS" but we can gladly assist with shipping arrangements. Shipping is only available after the item is PAID IN FULL.
On all RVs especially older models there is almost always a place or two of delamation.
If you can not send a deposit within 24 hours please do not bid.
If you can not pay the final balance within 3 business days, please do NOT bid.
If you do NOT pay the Deposit within 24 hours we reserve the right to NOT sell the item.
If you do NOT pay the full amount within 3 days we reserve the right to NOT sell the item and keep the $500 deposit.
As far as the deposit and final payment I do offer a couple of different options. Pay the $500 deposit within 24 hours via Paypal or send me a confirmation # from FedEx or similar for a cashiers check within 24 hours and you will have 3 days to pay the balance.
I do offer a $100 discount off of the winning bid price AFTER the $295 Doc Fee is paid. In order to receive the $100 discount, the entire balance must be paid within 48 hours of the end of the auction.
Full payment is due within 3 days period. If you do not pay within the 3 days we do reserve the right to NOT sell the unit to you.
I will NOT hand over my title until your funds have cleared my account, 5 business days. So, if you arrive to pickup your new item and you do NOT bring cash or do a bank wire transfer then I hold the title till your funds clear MY bank. If you want to leave with your title then bring cash or do a bank transfer which usually takes 2 - 3 hours.
Odometer Mile: Please be aware that FEDERAL LAW says that ALL motorhome sales of vehicles that are over 16,000 lbs are considered MILES EXEMPT. This means that the miles that read on the odometer are not guaranteed. This is NOT my rule or my method. I have nothing to do with this law. THIS IS FEDERAL LAW. What it does mean is that while the miles shown are NORMALLY correct, I do NOT guarantee it. How could I possibly know the complete history of a 10-15 year old vehicle that I have only owned for very short time? On vehicles 10 years old or older the titles can be labeled exempt for miles.
A large percentage of the time the older RVs have an exhaust leak.
I do NOT accept PayPal for final payment, PayPal is for deposit only.
After you have inspected the coach and all is well, we can go for a test drive.
Karolina Koaches
We try hard to make all buyers happy.
We believe it is better to under promise and over deliver.
We have worked hard to maintain our GREAT feedback rating.
We have over 1000 completed transactions on ebay.
In 2008, we sold over 350 units in supposedly the worst economy that we have seen in a long time. We are selling so many units because we are selling them soo cheap. This should give you confidence that we operate a legitimate business.
We try our best to describe as accurately as possible. If a unit needs some work then we try our best to inform you that it needs work.
Rest assured, if there is a challenge we will work with you to resolve the issue.
