yes please, tell me which ones are the good ones!
So clearly they are all using the same pictures do they all have the handicap side door?EDIT I re read your original post clearly they do.Second edit: So is it just the 8% to the auction house or 8 to the house and 8 to the govt?
May be an important question here, do these buses have transit gearing or highway gears?Jim
Luvrbus, I see a couple of transits but no 4500, do you have a link? It sounds enticing but I couldn't find it. I'd certainly like more information.See mqbus, that's why I asked the question. You have been there, done that, and have a good idea how to play the game. I'm 1500 miles away and can't even look at the bus. There's a considerable advantage in being on the spot so to speak. I think I could afford reasonable compensation for your time and expertise. Anyway just think about it, there's no immediate rush. I need to settle the negotiations on this other bus first anyway.Jim
Please remember, Mr Scott may be in a precarious position to be offering "advice". These are public assets and he works for a public entity.If he offers any more details than his employer and their disposal policies allow, and aren't freely available to anyone, he loses his good job.No hanky panky at public expence.That said, be sure you DO HAVE all the available info, some of it can hide on these online offerings.Happy coaching!Buswarrior
So noted.Do the DL's have the same issue with rust inside the walls and showing up on the fasteners in the bays? Or is there someplace where they are particularly susceptible to salt?Jim
OK, that sounds like a good idea, provided I pass on the northern bus I'm looking at. It also is remote. May have to take a leap of faith at some point it seems, but those things are often necessary. My biggest concern currently is the shape of the radiator fins.Are you going to do anything with your bifold door? That seems like it could run into some money to convert to a single. Jim
MQBUS, the maintenance records should be public records, make a public records request and pay for the cost for copying or if digital the cost of a CD, HTH
