Bus appraisal

I am changing insurance company on my Eagles. They will let me pick the appraisal company. Do any of you know of a company I can contact.
Thank you Wayne

Marty Rhyne at Thebusman.com is honest and a good guy to talk to. He also knows a few guys in the business that may be closer to you.

Try Michaud he knows Eagles and knows what they worth,I don't if Spike is doing it or his son Jim but I think they have a web page www.busappraiser or close to it he did mine with just photos plus the drive train info,my insurance co was happy with his details,you could call Mark(boomer)I know he would know somebody

Wayne -

I would second Clifford's suggestion to contact Spike Michaud at www.busappraiser.com. He grew up in the bus industry, working to help make Michaud Bus Lines one of the biggest carriers in the NE, based out of Salem, MA.

Daniel Lenz is another individual you might want to try and contact. Daniel spent years as a sales rep for Eagle, knows them inside and out.  Easiest way would probably be a Facebook search.

Thank you.  I am in contact with Michaud.  They seem like nice people. They said they had 42 Eagles at one time. My hope is that they give me some credit for the time I have in this build. One has to be realistic about the valve of a conversion. I  hope they value it such that if something happens I can at least have enough to to buy a beatup old Prevost to finish the ride. :) I know  Daniel but I don't  think he can do an appraisal.

Thank you Wayne

  Wayne. The attention to detail on this last build is  Impeccable. If anything was to happen you'll do fine! Just look at Cheryl and I  , after we sold our model 15 we had enough to buy a beat up old Prevost lol. ;D ;)
