Asking the pros. Good vs bad deal?
The tittle says it. I thinks is good deal, but add your opinion based on specs.

if it goes for less than $2000, its not a bad deal. low miles, is that some under body bins? hard to tell in the pics.
the cummins 5.9 with a 4.7 rear is just... ok. nothing much to write home about. it probably has the AT545 transmission. if it goes for less than 2k, i'd consider it a deal.
my bus is a 5.9 cummins with the AT545, its very similar to what youre bidding on.
i would look for a dt466, or a cummins 8.3, to bid on. and hope they stay under $4k.
my 2 cents
good luck

I'm no pro but it has WAY more than four windows!
And from the description it sounds like it will need more than a tranny job.

Hahha. Not for me. Just comparing prices.
I'm sticking to my 4 window short bus.
If it goes for less than 2k? They sold for 800 and 300!
Idk about buses but I just haven't seen many go for that low on govdeals.

By the time you tow it and get it running you'd have thousands in it, most likely.

Yeah. Maybe I miss read it. It thought they were refering to the AC services since it said run and drive.

Did you notice the "This item has a reserve" at the end of the description?
I would bet good money that the owner did not let them go for the last bid on them.
Auction ended might not mean sold.

Ah, I didn't read it right. Says it runs and drives.
Time you put tires on it, it would still be a lot of money to get it home. Then to deal with the rust.

Texas I think.
Mirrors look exotic. Lol.
It probably has a high reserve.
