Anyone able to give me their opinions of pros/cons of this bus?

That's a good con  But still, I wasn't at the auction. And the bus looks sweet. I'm assuming harder to find parts for it in the long run?

Theyre fine buses but all you have to do for the deals is watch govdeals and public surplus. Those two sites are great. I got mine off govdeals.
CL and Ebay are sort of the "retail" prices for used school buses. Usually not always...
Brant is a great dude, and the Gilligs are amazing buses. I just couldnt pay someone that much of a finders/convenience fee.
a stockton auction, the typical price-

Yeah, I've been watching the Oregon and Washington ones, checking every day. I'm a little more hesitant about the CA ones, because it'll be more difficult to get down to check them out before I bid (I've got a bus mechanic friend I'm planning on taking with me to bus auctions around here, if I find something promising. I'm not in a super big rush, so I can wait a bit longer. Thanks for the thoughts!

Sad that it's a junk title...
One of the very last Ward Senators being sold off. Looks just like mine. I wish I could buy it for spares, but its just too far to be feasible.

Too bad this one won't be getting a second life, these are GREAT buses.
