Question Can someone direct me to the article about buying a used Airstream?

My wife and I are about to take the plunge into Airstream ownership. We are looking at different used models for sale all over North Carolina. She was somewhere on this site earlier this week and came across an article or posting about buying used models, specifically differentiating between "found as is," "restored" and "renovated." The article also addressed the costs of replacing many parts that need replacing on older models. Neither she nor I can find that article/posting now. Does anyone know where we might find it? Thanks!

Smile Thanks Reinergirl!

This is the article my wife was referring to. Thanks for your help. I am just getting acclimated to all the great posts in this forum. Hopefully we will be Airstreaming soon!
