Not sure of the batteries but I know advance auto bought car quest so maybe you can do some prep calling for an order ahead to pick up local? Also there is a truck stop in Cowpens sc right off of exit 83 on i85 that constantly has trucks and plenty of space for free and they do service as well I believe. I see Cherokee county schools so If it’s near there where you’ll pick it up you should pass right by the truck stop.

I've got one pretty much just like it now, only without the underside bins and the body damage.
Its Kubla's. I'm just (slowly) working on it and gonna likely sell it.
Decent buses for sure!

Well I didn't pay super high price for it, hope it's not a turd.
If the body damage is all that's wrong with it I'll be super happy
Now the real money spending starts

Not a bad price at all. That door/skirt damage doesn't even look that bad.

To be honest I'll probably cut all that out to build a basement anyway.
Question, can I put a back porch on this beast? Maybe just to haul the bike
