Nashville buses

[t-chuck]

Does anyone know how well the Nashville/Davidson County school system maintains their buses?
They have 5 flat front Thomas 2006 buses up for auction that ends tuesday on govdeals. Cummings 6.7 engine.

It may be too late to get someone to look at them for me & I am not sure it is the right model for me since it may have lower ceilings, but it might make a nice first bus for testing the waters.

Ideally I would like to find a early 2000's 30-32ft pusher, however they seem pretty rare and so far tend to be Mercedes engines which I plan to avoid.

Good call on that. They're great engines...but all engines will need some help or repair someday and finding shops with the right software and skill to work on them can be challenging.

Turns out I got bad info from a reseller of one of these buses and the buses actually have a different engine.
Thanks for those who chimed in of my other thread about Cummings engines!
I won't be pursuing this auction.
