Looks like a nice older bus. Find out if it has a driveline retarder. If its a CO bus it should.
Looks nice from what little I see.
I like older buses. The mileage doesn't scare me, just make sure its been cared for.

imo, its an average deal..... hard to say without knowing more about the bus.

the engine, transmission, the final drive ratio are the bits of info i would want to know "if its a good deal". that's how we measure desirability here.
