1989 VIXEN SE, VIN:#539

ON CONSIGNMENT BUT LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES  CALIFORNIA AREA

The coach is completely refurbished with new tires and wheels, new tail light and clearance lenses, CB radio with custom-made overhead mount and antenna.  New, larger capacity radiator, water pump, and 2 Engine compartment cooling fans with thermostat and switch.  New alternator, A/C compressor, receiver-dryer, hoses and belts.  New muffler, cat. converter, and fuel pump, new engine mounts.  3 new optima batteries.  The interior has new carpet, recovered seats and interior panels.  New window screens.  New countertop with new sink and cook stove.  New AM/FM radio with CD and 4 speakers.  One of 13 SE's that has the park detent in the transmission.  New 11 inch vacuum booster brake system, new double bed mattress.  New starter for the generator, and new speedometer.  Everything works.  No leaks.  Outstanding condition inside and out.  88,700k miles. A beautiful and very reliable SE. No leaks.  

It gets around 19-21 MPG depending on terrain.  The engine does not leak and passes smog emissions test with ease.  

The interior generator start switch has been replaced, along with the fuel pump and filter.  Everything works on the unit, including cruise, except the propane level on the readout panel.  It always shows full.  The tires have about 2700 miles on them and they are heavy duty (EXTRA LOAD) passenger type.

The overhead panel has a CB radio with speaker and original light mounted in it. It has weather radio feature and electronic compass.

The fiberglass top is original and still looks pretty good. The bottom has been re-painted from the top seal down to the top of the lower stripes.  I would rate that paint as good but not great.  The bumpers and all lower panels have been repainted.  All of the stripes have been replaced.  The long lower left side panel has been made into 2 separate panels, that makes removing that thing a lot easier.  It has not been wrecked to my knowledge.

PRICE $27,500
