Yea 17000 miles sounds better, but even that is no miles. It is not even broken in. If it has slides you should be able to tell if the seals are good or not, just check to see if there are any wet marks on the carpet. It rains alot in Florida, so you should be able to tell if it has any leaks by the stain marks that are usually left. Take it out for a test drive and see how it handles. The TourMaster at that time was the top coach for Gulfstream. Give it a good twenty mile run and see how it runs. Check the oil and the dip stick to see if it shows any rust. If it shows rust, it could be that water has been getting into the oil from a blown head gasket. It it is just oil then it is good. Check under the coach for oil leaks, transmission and between the tranny and the engine . If you have oil between the engine and transmission it means you have a leak on the rear main seal of the engine. Things like that happen sometimes when an engines seats for long periods at a time. But then again maybe you might have found a nice clean coach for a very reasonable price.
Good luck!
