Hello World

My name is Kolin I'm a photographer from Asheville NC. I just dropped out of college to travel and pursue photography and I want to buy a school bus to do so. I'm excited to join this community and any resources that you can provide will be greatly appreciated especially on where to buy a bus i'm having trouble finding a good deal I have been looking on craigslist and my school districts surplus without much luck i was told govdeals.com was a good site to for bus auctions any sites or resources that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Im looking for a short bus preferably a ford 7.3 diesel engine or if you guys know any other engines I should look out for my budget is around 7500$. Please help me out.

Try Midwest Transit. Buses are in good shape.

In the search bar above search for "places to buy a bus", there are a couple of comprehensive threads on the subject. I'd post a link but I'm using a POS HP laptop while my Mac gets repaired and I can't figure out how to cut and paste with this POS.
