I'll take an FE but not a dog nose.

That's me but it's rare that I'm with the majority.

and there's exactly the reason the RE and FE get bid up.. alot of people feel the same as you about it

me personally i like them.. esp when you have to work on it. , but you dont have quite the front visibility... and it adds to length without adding to interior space..

I'd throw a $1500 bid on it early, as I often do.

A bus is a bus to me. I just look for the deal, not any specific bus. I prefer non RE, so CE or FE are my choices. I'll take any bus within certain criteria for the right price.
Hell, I'd buy it, list it in FL on CL and when it sold for five grand, then be able to buy even MORE bus lol.
If it were later in the summer i'd likely have already thrown a bid on it myself, but I'm tapped out till I work off a bit of debt for a month or two.
Then- more BUSES!

That's how I think about these bids on buses.
Up in WV they often seem to go pretty cheap. They look from the pics to be pretty clean buses.

Asking about engine size from Cummins. I still can't get a password reset on Quick Serve. Verified the MT 643.

I'll bid on this one if it's an 8.3L

Its an 8.3 look at the engine front cover.https://youtu.be/mAWnVNqGcTk
5.38 is decent gearing with that 3060!

WV has quite a few rural areas and hills... id expect decent spec busses.. some of the state gets alot of snow other parts doesnt.. seems the heaviest salt usage is alongthe I-77 and I-64 corridors.. outside of that ive seen a lot more sand in the mix than salt ..

WV is where that shorty with the 466 and manual trans slipped through my fingers!

This guy said they don't get much snow. It's the OH River area (again).

I know that's a decent gearing, just couldn't verify the serial on My Transmissiom.

Now is the MT 643 better/worse than the M3060? Looks like I get a choice this go around.

643 has no od. But is simpler and has no computer.
The one with the 643 looks a row or two longer.
I'd go for the 3060, as much as I LOVE my 643.

Grrrr, 12 row and 13 row. How is an 84 pax 13 rows??? It's supposed to be a 14 row at that capacity. Unless the last row has no window.

[EastCoastCB]

IDK, gotta go by row count forget kid capacity.

Oh I know that especially with the handi buses but still.

Anywho, put in a bid on the 3060 bus as it is one row longer.

Dear Exporters,
Please piss off and leave the bidding alone.

Thank you,
Bob
