Auction help

Hello good people! It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. Life has not gone to plan (does it ever?), so I haven’t made that leap yet. One of my local schools is having an auction, and they have a bus. I’m attaching a screen shot of the only info they gave about it. Some advice would be appreciated. Would you bid on this? What’s the max you would go? Right now it’s at $450 with a couple days left on the bidding. Thanks

I saw that one. Good auction site. I'm assuming that the odometer is incorrect, or it ran so well that never stopped driving it. I think anything that old with that mileage i would have to look at it in person and see it and hear it to be honest

If it is local can you go look at it and find out the drivetrain?

There's not enough info or pictures to really judge the bus. A running bus that's cheap And old could still need 5kplus in repairs, just don't know

My concerns too. I think I’ll pass on this one.

What site is that on?

I'm not trying to grab that bus from under you, but I'm shopping for a flat nose
