Final bid was $1450, plus about $300 in tax, auction fees, etc. Just under $1800 out the door. Mine was a tow away though. The drivers went for $1800-$2500, plus fees. This one has new looking tires, LED tail lights, clean all the way around, but the throttle valve was messed up, so they listed as a tow, no emissions guarantee. Guess it scared most people away...

After I bought it, I messed around with it until the throttle worked, drove it to my shop...

Fellow Burner here .... Where was this auction and contact info? My Motorhome got totaled on the way home this year (Rear-Ended) by another Burner fell asleep at the wheel. I was going 50, he was going 90 and accelerating. UHaul truck. Needless to say, i need a new rig and i was gonna get a bus eventually anyway and use the RV amenities to outfit the bus. RV is now totaled and the stuff inside is gone too. I need to get the best deal on a bus i can get so i have money for the amenities. Thanks in advance. Phil - P/N RETRO

Their bus sales are hit or miss, no rhyme or reason to when they occur. They sell more RTD buses than anything.

Wasn't me but we're chatting now. I pretty much will only use my bus for BM trips and some regional events. No full time living or anything. Just in the early stages of shopping. Thanks a bunch for the info.

I am hoping that you mean burning man and not just going out to take a dump in your bus.
