Welcome

seems rather expensive and probably a flip since they do not know what engine or tranny it has.

ask them for picture of data plate on side of tranny and engine pictures, that would help

and they don't know what air brakes are

Tires don't look that great and front hub is leaking

Is it my imagination or is that bus sitting on four tires?

It's a nice looking bus.
