Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

Hopefuly she'll be posted on ebay in the next week...we're really close to being finished.

You are bidding on a one of a kind party bus that includes a 7 person Jacuzzi. With this bus, you don’t just go to parties, you ARE the party! Click on the links below to see youtube video’s of the bus. She’s very popular. Just try Googling “jacuzzi bus” and see how many of the first 10 hits belong to THIS bus.

Check my 100% positive feedback!

The first and last links have plenty of girls in them







This bus has been my pride and joy for about 3 years now. During that time I’ve put around 30K miles on the odometer. Driving from Michigan to Nevada and back three times, South Padre Island Texas for spring break once, and all over the State of Michigan to various car shows, events parties etc. She’s a great runner, just turn the key and go. Fly in and drive it home. I wouldn’t be afraid to drive her anywhere. . She has had regular oil and filter changes. Mechanically there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. She starts right up, smokes very little, drives straight, brakes work great. The drivers seat feels like air ride, it’s actually some crazy torsion device, but it bounces up and down when you hit bumps. She doesn’t leak any fluids (except water from the Jacuzzi if you have to stop really hard!) My buddy Jimbo and I have actually built 3 Jacuzzi buses now. Each one more spectacular than the previous. When we built this bus, we made sure that we did it right!

I’m selling her because I found a new bus, it’s a 60 foot articulating city bus (Oh the possibilities!) and I just don’t have room for both vehicles in the driveway.

There are too many features to list, but here’s the majority of them.

7 person Jacuzzi completely self contained (The HUGE pump for the Jacuzzi has been replaced with a smaller more efficient unit that does an excellent job heating/filtering the water yet is small enough to power without a generator. However it makes the jets very wimpy. When you have a Jacuzzi in a bus some things require compromise.

Holding tanks that contain about 1/3 of the Jacuzzi water. Open a valve to take the water out before you drive, flip a switch to put it back in once you arrive at your destination. Keeps most of the water from sloshing out of the Jacuzzi during transit.

Strategically placed drain holes around Jacuzzi to aid in removal of any water that escapes.

Brilliant heat exchanger that heats the Jacuzzi utilizing waste engine heat.
Heats all 350 gallons of water in less than an hour of driving. That is 7 hours faster than the stock electric heater.

Ceiling is painted with the same paint that blue man group uses. It’s made by wildfire fx and is some of the best (UV) reflective paint money can buy.

4 florescent UV lights to illuminate the ceiling.

12 foot convertible roof above Jacuzzi, great for watching the stars on a clear night.

Easy clean floor. It’s linoleum with removable non-slip rugs on top. Makes cleaning up after a party or a weekend of camping very easy.

110 volt system including 2000 watt inverter (changes 12 volt’s of car power to 110 volts of household power) big enough to run the Jacuzzi and other electrical loads in the bus.

Multiple 110 volt outlets just like the ones in your house.

Shore power connection for those times when you are parked and have electricity available.

Front door opens/closes with remote keyless entry

Dry Seating for 12

Killer Sound system including a pair of Peavey DJ cabinet speakers
Clarion Amp

Pair of 5x9 speakers

Sony Xplode Am/Fm/Cd/mp3 Stereo with aux adapter for ipod, laptop, or other music player

HUGE 8D starting battery

Pair of golf cart “house batteries” to run lights ect when the bus is parked

Engine and Drive Trane are in EXCELLENT CONDITION

She has a standard 2” trailer hitch. I pulled a 16 foot enclosed trailer to
Nevada and back (about a 5K mile round trip)

Engine is the legendary International DT360 inline 6 cylinder turbo diesel.

Transmission is an Allison automatic. Just put her in drive and go! Drives just like a car, only bigger.

In the past couple years I’ve replaced a few parts including:

Alternator
Engine belts
Steer Tires
8D starting battery
Fuel and Oil filters

She’s licensed as a non-commercial bus so you don’t need any special license to drive it. However, if you decide to use it as a business it can easily be registered as a commercial vehicle. Other’s are getting hundreds of dollars per hour for limo buses, and they don’t even have Jacuzzi’s!

Negative things:
There are some imperfections in the paint and body work, although they are pretty difficult to see unless you study her carefully.

Rear tires should be replaced or re-treaded. They are not bald, but probably don’t meet DOT specifications. See Photos

The girls in the video’s do NOT come with the bus , neither does the flame thrower.

You can’t go anywhere without random strangers coming up and asking “is there really a Jacuzzi inside?


Terms of sale:

Vehicle sold as is where is. If you fly into Flint Michigan I will come pick you up from the airport free of charge.

$1,000 deposit via paypal or cash in person required within 24 hours of auction end. Remainder must be paid with cashiers check, cash, or money order and vehicle picked up within one week of auction end.

Check my 100% positive feedback!

If you are not a serious bidder, or do not have the $$, do not bid. Non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay and legal action pursued.

As the winning bidder, you are welcome to come inspect the vehicle within one week of auction end. If you’re not completely satisfied with this vehicle at that time your deposit will be refunded no questions asked. There will be no negative consequences.

Delivery is available, e-mail for details.

If you have any questions about the bus, feel free to contact me.

Re: Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

Maybe it's brunette. She's in a lot of the videos. I think I'm in love. Unless it's your girlfriend/wife. If it is, I hardly noticed her.

Maybe I just missed it several times in the reading (it's happened many times before), but what is your eBay ID?

Re: Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

This listing (320171963329) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number. If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.


Is that the right number? Maybe put a link for some of us dumbies.

Re: Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

it hasn't quite been 12 hours yet and she's already up over $3,000.....I think that's a good sign.

Re: Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

i'm dissapointed. I only got a measly $18,500.00 for my skoolie.

i give up, not building any more. they're not worth my time.

i think i'll go back to work at a real job

Re: Jacuzzi Bus almost For Sale

If you wanted more than $18,500, why did you use the Buy it now for that amount? You should have just used the reserve for whatever amount you wanted. If it doesn't reach the reserve, it doesn't sell. That way the auction would have run its course and it would have gone to the highest bidder. You would have seen how high it would have gotten at auction.
