A great bus for sale! 3 rd party

I don't want a 40 ft, I just bought a greqt20 ft, but this would be great for somebody!

https://lexington.craigslist.org/for/6078049756.html

1998 Thomas Bus under, under 7k miles CAT 3116 diesel motor, Alison automatic transmission. Full size, 40ft long, 66+ passenger with 6 good tires (90%+ tread), 3 brand new batteries, great Cush-N-Aire ride driver's seat. Bus is very clean and in great condition, all lights/switches/heat/air work. Clean KY title, I've already done the dirty work and it's registered as a motor home, so no paperwork difficulties with insurance and registration.

I bought the bus back in August from a government auction in Fredericksburg, VA advertised as original motor and miles. The garage employees told me the school district in Fairfax, outside of Washington DC was short city routes and high idle times. The title had the correct miles on transfer and I have no indication of a swap or rebuild.

It's very clean, runs great and has endless possibilities. My intentions were a Skoolie project and will start removing seats for the conversion if it doesn't sell. If you're interested in buying/trading/bartering, then emails and texts work best. Due to spammers and scammers, I won't probably won't answer any unknown numbers. Thank you.

It isn't the odometer reading that freaks me out, it's the four digit number that follows the word "CAT" in the description.
