89 Crown on Govdeals right now. Located in San Jose CA. Take a screencap of the $300 asking its probably going to go out of sight in the 2 weeks it has left on the listing. ;)

CLEAN Chevy G-wagon shorty. I'd buy this if covid weren't going around right now.

Wouldn't they have the AT-545 in them?

They're nice buses, and a nice size. Folks DEMAND to pay full retail when bus shopping, though!

545 isn't a deal breaker for me. 99% of the good buses are going to have them.
Mine has one. I don't have mountains to cross, so it works fine.

Dunno, I thought the last batch had some 2000s in them. Maybe I'm misremembering.

Year 2000 is when the 2000 series was released, very few got them , those will likely be geared for 65 but be 545s, I’m done with 545s except on a short runner or a classic that I don’t want to alter.. many Texas busses have air conditioning too if it matters.

Now with CoVID is actually a great time to buy a bus, many of the exporters are not here right now...
It’s pretty safe to travel, stay in nice hotels and not cheap fleabags and you’ll do fine

Hi! I’m a student in Phoenix and i’m looking for a place where i can store my bus for about 8 months while i work on it. I can pay around $150 a month and would need access to power. If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreciated.

The special ed bus mileage is accurate. Was bid on by another forum member before this re-list.

I dunno, this seems kind of unlikely. How much time does it take to post a bus and tell people to look up the bus details with the VIN?

Something fishy going on here. Bid up to $8k and then the next bid was $5k more. And then the $8k bid one it by adding $100 to the $13K.  Same 2 bidders on both higher priced buses.

It breaks my heart a little every time I see one of those great condition Sonoma short Buses from last winter listed on Craigslist for 5k-10k totally unmodified beyond seat removal. I still kick myself for passing them up, even though I was and still am in no position to buy...

That was my original intention when I bought one, but have no fear. I'm not getting rid of mine anytime soon. Having too much fun

Breaking my heart even more (that first pic is a great pic btw), and that's a good looking bus and a great size.
E-350/450 is a great platform if you want to get off the beaten track. Large aftermarket, locking differentials and limited slips are easy to find, handful of different lift options available if desired, and even a few companies that do 4x4 conversions or offer parts for DIY 4x4 conversions if that is your thing.
It looked like that batch of buses were very well taken care of.
