Advice for friend looking to buy first AS

I have a friend who is looking to buy his first Airstream.
He is interested in a 1998 AIRSTREAM Excella Classic, WDBY-28 located in Savannah, Ga listed for $17,500.
He is asking me if I think this is a fair price? What questions should he ask before he drives down to see it?
Also, any recommendations for getting it inspected in that area.
I would appreciate any guidance you could offer.
Thanks
Stewart

Check out the "Trailer Values" and "Buyer's Guidelines" subforums for information that you can pass along to your friend...

Hi Stewart. Has anybody spent any time in our classifieds comparing similar age units/prices.

High on my list would be whether the torsion axles have been flexed with periodic use vs. sitting constantly and taking a set. If "The A/C worked the last time I tried it" means it hasn't been used in a few years, that can only be proved by towing it to an area campground with 30A service and actually trying it out.
