Selling our beloved bus (WillaTheWanderBus)

Hey Skoolie community!

My wife and I are wanting to test the waters with what our bus might sell for in the skoolie community. We've taken every step possible to make sure that this bus was constructed to the best of our ability, as well as maintained to the best of our ability.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to make an offer. We are currently located in Odessa, TX.

You can find a bunch of pictures on our Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/abbyandadam/

We put $25k into our project and after labor, we'd like to get $32k for it

Here's a list of highlights that come to mind:
1. We've always gotten all filters changes & oils changed every 5k miles.
2. All 6 wheels are brand new when we left. ($3000)
3. 1,530 Watts of Solar
4. 2x 12V 350ah batteries
5. 80 gallons fresh water
6. 55 gallons gray water tank
7. 38 gallon black water tank
8. Water level gauges.
9. Pack rat storage under bed. https://www.inlad.com/product/pack-r...l-out-storage/
10. 2Ft of storage in back of bus.
11. Industrial grade paint job
12. 15k Air conditioner unit. /W Climate control
13. Refrigerator that runs completely off of solar
14. All walls/floors/ceilings are insulated with 1.5" foam board
15. Back up camera.
16. Trailer hitch

This looks very nice. I always try and find something to be snootily judgmental about when people post their skoolies for sale, but I got nothin'.

Hey everyone!! Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. We've had an amazing response to this post that we never expected. We are truly grateful! We've also lined up a buyer for our sweet Willa and they will be coming to pick her up next Tuesday. As of right now, Willa is off the market. I will keep everyone up to date if anything changes.

Cheers!

The sellers backed out of the sale. The husband had not actually discussed it with the wife.

We settled on $33k before the sellers backed out. Note that’s $1,000 more than it was advertised for.

He lied when he said "The wife and I decided"
Reminds of this bike for sale in the past:
