To tow or not to tow...HELP

I'm in the process of buying a bus about 600 miles away from me it is listed as starts and runs but has transmission issues with no further description. Is it worth towing if it can't limp home or should I get it fixed around where it is?

Try contacting someone for more info on the bus.

Just off hand I'd say it's probably not worth towing 600 miles. Buses are easy to find and hard to sell. Finding the right one for you is also kind of hard.

If that bus is good and the seller wants it sold, how about they deliver that big bus? They're willing to let you drive away with a bad transmission.

Is that a dealer, and are you paying to much for a bus with a bad transmission?
