My, my. That is a pretty obvious defect, although I can't tell if it's loose or bowing out because it's cut too long and bowing out? Either way, like you said, it's pretty sad that they picked this for their demo.
The more I read about the problems and QC issues with the new units, the happier I am with my old one. A salesman who's been doing this for 30+ years told me that units built after the 08 market crash had much less build quality that prior to then. He said that before then, they were pretty decent but now they just hammer 'em out and unless you get a really high end unit, the build quality of new ones today doesn't measure up to those built from '08. I don't know if that's true or not.
I looked at some 06, 07, and 08 Carriage units and I could tell they were better built than cheaper ones, but I didn't think they were that much better to justify the 50% higher cost.
Has anyone has an older Montana an a newer Montana who can compare the build quality of, say, an 08 and a 2018 model?
Buying an older unit, I expect to have to make some repairs but if I had a new or newer unit, and was making payments on it, I would be pretty irritated at having to make those same repairs.
Where the older units really made better?
