I think I may have found my bus!

[TheRoanBus]

This might be my bus you guys! Its close enough to home and meets the qualifications I want. What do you guys think? Is it a keeper?



2003 Thomas Flat Nose 90 Passenger School Bus w/ Caterpillar 3126B 7.2L Diesel | eBay

NOTE: This bus was retired 6 months ago because of age. When the bus was taken out of service it was in running condition with no known issues. Because it has been sitting for 6 months it will need to be jump started. Even though this bus is drivable it is recommended that it be towed to its destination and fully checked out before driving any long distance. Sold as is. No warranty. No returns.

Year 2003
201,721 Miles (odometer says 15,262 because cluster was replaced)
Automatic Transmission
90 passenger capacity
Air brakes
Rear emergency door, 2 roof hatches and 6 emergency exit windows
Outside cargo bay
Firestone FS561 tires (front passenger) and Bridgestone R268 tires (front driver, back driver and back passenger)

That bus is in Naples, FL right?

They had an IC they sold a couple months ago that i was excited about, but people went crazy with their bid buttons and it ended up selling for almost 10 grand if I remember correctly.

That one and its twin (there's a second one just like it for sale on eBay also) have MD3060 transmissions. The overdrive is a big plus.

Hopefully the prices don't get out of control. Good luck with it!

Yeah he's also selling one for $800, its the exact same one. I really hope the price doesn't go up over $4,000. Theres 2 bids for the $700 one and 4 for the $800. The overdrive is what Ive been looking for. I really wanted a 7.2L or higher.

Thank you! Ill be praying my hardest

How long is a 90 passenger bus? I was under the impression that 40 ft was the max length.

Buses aren't REALLY measured in length by passenger count. My 78 "passenger" is 40 feet. School buses don't come longer than 40'.

and "rows" are sometimes a mis-representation too..

my shortie was listed as a "5 row" which is correct, there are 5 rows of seats inside.. but there are 6 windows on the outside.. one of the windows is longer than the other 5... so that "5 row" bus isnt a whole lot shorter than my other "7 row" bus...
