thankssss

Another Miami skoolie !!! cool !!!
I'm in south dade myself and got two busses in progress, mine and a friends. Just finished raising the roof on one of them 18" inches, man is there a lot of room inside now! My bus is next!
The two websites I have found for Miami bus auctions are Bidera and also Gov deals. You got to inspect what you are going to buy, especially here in Miami!
Be very careful with busses from Palm Beach County schools because they cannibalize them for the good parts, replace them with bad parts and then sell the shell at auction.
I am sending you my contact info, give me a call and let's meet!
