Man that was one HORRIBLE bus purchase!!! Wowsers!
Either a school bought it, someones exporting it, or someone just saw their first YouTube bus conversion video and bought the newest one they could find thinking that newer is actually better.

Possibly! But I've got two buses and a van, so IDK....
I doubt I'll win it for what I'm bidding, but heck that's how I get all my good deals. I bid low and early. And often!

That's only a 90 min drive from me. I'd go inspect it fir ya'll but I'm swamped right now. The good thing is, stop at a WV State Police barrack and 72hr one way permit to get it home. That will cost $10-15. All you need to show is your recently signed title and proof of insurance and away you go.

Its always nice to have some eyes on a prospective purchase, but I never do. The bus in question has enough pics and a good enough description/endorsement from the seller to satisfy me. Bidding sight unseen gives me a thrill lol.
Usually they just send the paperwork, and I attempt to get a tag here in FL. But both mine came home LONG distances with no tags! Title, BOS, and INS are all I've ever had for the return trip. Good to know though. If I win, I'll definitely grab one of those, THANKS!

You did what you had to do. 8 months is a long time when you're itching to get started!! Congratulations!

This became a short lived project for me. I really hate to abandon it so soon but I've realized I can't physically nor monetarily keep it right now. The price is pretty firm but it don't hurt my feelings if an offer is made. More pictures on request.
It's got a little rust through on the front door and battery box but nothing that I think is horrible. I'm in Covington, GA 30016 http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/rvs/6243494961.html
