Thinking about buying this... adivice?

Its a 1999 Amtran

Has a diesel 444 with auto transmission.

No rust body is in great shape.

Its a 38 passenger so its a midsize bus

Has 160k Miles on it.

He wants $2900

Sounds pretty OK to me. Is it one of the AmTrans with the big underbelly storage boxes by any chance?

Not very familiar with the 444...only that it was the first of the "PowerStroke" series. My understanding is that the 444 was a v8 geared more towards 1ton pickups so it it likely low on power for a bus. Anybody else know more about these puppies?

And what tranny?

Hey thanks so much for responding!

It does not have underbelly storage.

I dont know what the tranny is but I suppose I can find out.
