Buying my first bus! Need engine advice!
Hi everyone! So I’ve been lurking for a little while and trying to do my own research but I’m stumped! I’m not knowledgeable enough about mechanical things and engines and although it learning, I need advice!
I’m looking at a few short buses for sale right now. I have limited information but let me tell you what I know!
1st bus is a little (4 Windows) ‘95 Chevy bus with a Gas engine 5.7 V8 ,automatic transmission and 36,955 original miles. The seller said the lowest he could go is $4500
2nd bus is slightly larger (5 Windows) ‘94 Type B (Box Style) School Bus with the vintage looking breadbox front end. It’s a Chevy GMC 6.7L Diesel Turbo Engine with 300k miles. Lowest the seller will go is $3500.
Are either of these worth the money or should I keep looking? I’m set on a short bus (wife isn’t ready for a full size) and we plan on living in and traveling with this conversion full-time for more than a year. Following decent weather, but all over the US.
Thanks so much for any input or advice!!
