There was a guy at the airspeed swap with one, kinda rough and was askin way too much in my opinion, like $4500 or somethin like that. Anyone know who he was? near the end of the parking lot.

What do you think its worth? Its mine. Don't know what to ask for it, but its been so reliable I don't want to give it away...give me some feedback. don't be shy.

Honestly, I wouldn't give you more than 2k for it. But I am cheap as hell, anyone who knows me can agree to that. That bus has a history doesn't it?

Looks like fun, not sure how much I'd pay for it... as I have no more money from my bus

... have you tried advertising locally also? I'd think you'd probably get a few calls... even at 4k. Look in the buy and sell and compare.

Good luck either way B)

it's always so hard to tell without seeing it in person.

it would probably help if you took some better pics. drivers and passengers floor. both side lower doglegs, both side rockers, underside, outriggers, bottom of the nose, rear corners. all the places that buses are known to have rot.

what is the history that matt speaks of? accidents? liens? aircare?

3200 us or 4000 canadian is a tad high, but thesamba worthy. i rarely see a bus under 3g us that seems to be in the condition of yours, so you seem to be on par.

have you had any calls? any interest at all?

if you really need to get rid of it you may have to take a hit and lower the price.

Shane · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2004, 06:39:49 PM »

I think Matt in on Par with the 2k...
I found 2 locally like yours one was 1400 and the other was 2500

thanks guys.
As far as history, I believe Dwane owned it or something. I know a couple guys recognised it this summer at Softball city show. Said they owned it, used it for cruisen the back roads. i bought it from Albert at the bug shop. Formerly of Bowwow?
Body needs the usual work: rockers, driver dogleg and door hinge, battery tray, lower nose under the lip, but is a solid reliable daily driver. Lots of mechanical work done. Which is why I priced it over $2000. This has been my principal vehicle for close to 3 years. Definately not just a "running" bus.

ive seen it a couple times.... and ya it needs body work. but so does every bus, and if its healthy enough to be a daily driver then you can milk close to your asking price if not your asking price for it. especially with the price of buses these days.

just take a ton more pictures.. it always helps.
