    I have had the privilage of owning 2 Prevost Marathon coaches over the last 10 years. I sold the 1999 XLV to get the 01 XLII with bunk beds for the 3 girls we have. Steve Bennett at Californina Coach Company sold my 99 for me in 07 and just sold my 01.

    Steve and I became friends before he sold my 99, we are both a little crazy about how we care for our personal coaches. We also share common interests in things outside of or buses, one is to always do the best we can for your customers, sometimes going way outside the box to make everyone involved happy and satisfied.

    Not only am I a very satisfied customer of California Coach Co.but proud to call Steve a friend, I know from seeing things on the inside how far Steve will go and won’t go to make a deal work. I guess what I am saying is he has ethics and values that have become very rare in todays small busniess world.

    Thanks Steve for all you bring to the table when a person wants to buy or sell a very expensive vechile!

    Racing stopped at the end of 09 when Mr. Jimmy France Jr. took control. Motorcycle racing is not NASCAR! He decided after 6 years to give up trying and now there is a new group. I hope the new folks will do a better job, I think they will, they are Motorcycle people that understand RoadRacing. I’m hoping for 2016, I think the OE’s that got out will give it a little time to see how the new guys do.

    Thanks for asking!

    I agree with what Kevin said. Steve a is a class act guy! Kevin I saw your coach inthe desert at MCC over the weekend and it looked awesome. I hope they are owners in MCC. If your looking to buy or sell a coach give steve a call. I brought mine from Steve and have been very pleased

    I am sorry to see Kevin is selling his coach. Someone is going to get the best of the best.

    I am not surprised to read Kevin’s remarks about Steve. Steve and Rhonda are first class folks running a first class operation and Steve’s site should be on the top of any coach buyer’s list of sites to bookmark.

    Good luck Kevin. Please stick around and contribute.

    Good
    to hear from you Kevin, wish the circumstances were different,
    someone got a pristine bus.

    Steve
    does a great job and his success speaks for itself. We’re glad to
    have California Coach as an Advertiser.

    Best
    of luck to you Kevin…

    Kevin, sorry that you are getting out of coaching. I hope it’s only temporary.

    As far as Steve is concerned, they don’t make them any better. Often felt he was too honest while selling.
