Should I buy this bus or wait?

Hello,

I’ve been looking for a short to mid sized bus so that I can travel across the United States for a year or so. I recently came across one that has my interest, but I also don’t know much when it comes to purchasing a bus. I would like a bus that will be good for traveling across the United States, with some mountains included. Here’s some of the info that I have from the bus I’m interested in —->
2006 International 3000IC
32 passenger bus
27 ft long
50,592 miles
VT365 V8 Diesel
Automation Transmission
RWD

Pros? Cons? I need some guidance.

Thanks,
Jess

Not a well liked engine, it is related to the ford 6.0 powerstroke

It's post 04, which means potential emission equipment issues. What transmission is it? Not a fan of V-8's in a bus. Price is important.
