I thoroughly enjoy mine, "Stinky".  Nice to work on, forgiving, the veneer in certain places isn't the best.  Done a lot of work to improve and put in solar.  I get more people talking about it than I did my any past car I owed.  The widows can get leaky but repairing and sealing with window weld 3M (really good stuff).  Nice to see another Airstream jr on this board.

Maybe but not unheard of, I looked for mine over 3 years.  I got him up in Long Island, not a bad deal. Needed some engine work and new AC (which I did myself).  Keep on places like craigslist and look in the Northeast, East Coast and even down South.  Some are in pretty bad shape, the interior at some places are known to leak but as I mentioned nothing someone can't fix carefully.  Well worth the wait and the hunt to find.  I have to say I am completely happy with taking my time to search.

Ya I just looked at it closer, its the way my beard brushes out I suppose, I am a very pleasant person.  I'll take another, thanks for the heads up!

I saw a wrecked 89 on ebay with a buyit now price if $1500 a month ago. I look on craigslist for 190's just to see what is out there but some look too good to be true (or dont actually exist). You might check the for sale section on b190.com. I wont say impossible but not easy as the last one was built in 99 with about 1100 total units made.
