If there’s one thing I’ve learned from buying vehicles other than I’ve bought too many vehicles, it’s that you always trust your gut on a purchase. I think you know which way your gut is leaning on this one

thanks for the support. in all honesty, the slight hiccup and few times the engine died didn't really scare me too much. i'm happy to pop the hood and roll up my sleeves to bust a few knuckles, save a few bucks, and fix something. as Jason Aldean sings, "... if it's broke 'round here, we fix it..."
but the lack of a title.. the bucks stop there. the bus stops there??
ya' gotta' have a title in a sale. SOO.. MOVING ON!
A and A bus and truck sales down in Avon Park, FL seem to have a few rigs in their lot. we'll see what becomes of those inquiries. and keeping an eye on ebay/craigslist/commercialtrucktrader dot com

thanks again for the pro-tips going forward.
enjoy the weekend, speed slowly.

maybe.
I see an average $3500-$4500 bus that may need some work.

If you shop outside FL you'll do much better. FL sucks bad for bus shopping. Its all swill for top shelf prices here.
