Was this a good deal? or auction frenzy?

with it being a 2012, I'd still say it's quite eligible for many school districts...
It seems high from what we're used to seeing... but, I know that's not an out of sight price for a technology center I substitute teach at... they gave more than that for a 2014 shorty! $32,000


nothing like that new car smell mixed with air biscuits

seems about right .. maybe a tad high being its an Ohio bus, but it is a wheelchair bus, a cummins, and only 74,000 miles... considering a new bus like that unless bought in huge volume is probably closer to 80 if not higher depending on the contract the schools get... it could easily be run for 10 years in a lower-volume district and only have 200k by then when it would age out at 15 years...
