Hello Everyone! Seeking advice on first Shuttle Bus purchase.

[Buyzen]

I'm no pro and I admire your heart to pour love into this bus but as others have affirmed I would personally look for another bus. I can just see a whole host of issues crop up beyond repair. There are other older buses out there with way less repair needed for cheap.

Either way best of luck on your decision!

I agree with the above sentiments. The idi in a van does not have a turbo.. it will be slow and slower and smoking when you get the higher elevations.

Good luck

i just saw one of those up and running at a KOA.
it was in decent condition and looked good.
dont forget about chassis condition.
brakes, tires, drivelines, shocks, all the wiring etc.
make sure you plan for those expenses too!
