This looks like a nice one

Of course it’s on the other side of the country.

Don’t know about the engine yet but it’s got an Alison 2000 transmission. It looks well taken care of.

ETA: it’s a t444e.

it is nice, but think of the cost of getting it home. Virginia buses might be rusty ones. not sure. I didn't see any chassis pics. I have one similar that I got less than 100 miles from me in rust free Oregon.

I would be willing to pay $1000 more for a bus from your area than one from the east coast. I went to Butte, Mt. for mine.

I also found this yesterday but the poster hasn’t gotten back to me yet so it’s possibly been sold already.

That is a nice bus, but posted 17 days ago. I am always weary of lazy posts... 2 pictures and 1 line description? I just sold a cheap stroller that had 6 pictures in various settings, full product description and links to manufacturers website. It's not too much to ask for more details in a post.

I figured that a 15 day old listing probably just hadn’t been taken down but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Wish I’d noticed it earlier.

Some folks just aren’t very good at selling stuff. I’ve noticed that some of the best bus deals on here have been listings that didn’t have a lot of details in the description. Hidden gems. It never hurts to dig a little for more info.

My seller neglected to mention tons of cool stuff that I was surprised by when I got the bus, like cruise control, power-operated mirrors, interior cameras, vandal locks - and a freakin' spoiler! Of course he didn't really mention the rust or the broken front shocks either.
