Hi there I’m new to the forum and know little about buses but I plan to learn as I go, first though I need to buy one. Next week ill be viewing a 2004 Bluebird with very low milage so a little advice would go along way.
This is the sellers Description
Year: 2004
Make: Bluebird
Model: AJD
Body: BU
Engine: Cummins 5.9
Transmission: Automatic
Vehicle Mileage: 50,833
Passengers: 48
Luggage: none
Brakes: hydraulic
Asking for $8900 Canadian
First question
The bus is marked down as a 2004 Bluebird AJD but ive done a good search and cant find anything under that name. If anyone could have a look at the pictures provided and tyr and identify this bus for me and if so what is this type of bus like?
2nd question
The Bus is part of a fleet of city tour buses and I have inquired about why the bus has so low milage for a vehicle that is almost 20 years old. He replied “We bought the company 2yrs ago and it came with it.
Im not sure when they bought the bus. During the 6yrs I worked for the company it didn’t roll very often”.
The buses safety ran out in November last year.
So with this bus sitting for most of its life I was wondering if there was any extra parts of the bus I should make sure to inspect?
Final question.
If the Millage is legit, it runs good and its not to rusty do you reckon this bus will make a great conversion and get me over to the west coast?
Thanks for reading this and any advice would be very helpful indeed
