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

Maybe start a thread for that. THis is for unaffiliated buses we find for sale. We tend to either drool over them or rag on em here.

LOL That makes sense. Thanks. I thought I had backed out of the thread. Between this phone acting up and my lack of forum etiquette...
But everyone, feel free to rag on it anyway.

That's the spirit! 
The main reason I say to start a dedicated thread is that your bus being for sale will be BURIED quickly as this is a regular thread on here.
Best of luck in the sale!

Agreed the price is a little high but honestly my first conversion including purchase price and rebuilding a transmission is close to that cost and they've done a lot more than I have. I bet that someone could talk him down to 14 or 15. I'd guess there's still some other modifications that need to be made such as a bedroom though..
I just thought it was cool.

I guess, but its still not a very desirable bus to begin with.
I'd rather spend the 14 or 15 on something truly epic. HIGH Hp.

Not sure if I can start looking for a bus yet, but I'm being promoted at work with a significant bump in pay and will be starting my new position on Monday. Wait, I'm going back to school, I can still dream.

Midwest auctions
Not sure if there are any really good deals on here today depends on what your looking for but they sell a lot of buses in the Midwest through this site, a few go at a good price depending on who's looking like any other auction site. Most buses are coming straight from school districts and have contact info so you can schedule inspections and drives.

Happy hunting.

Great Blue Bird, Transit style, Short Bus 30'
Good bus I came across recently. Too short for us, but a good one for someone else
