That coach appears to have been sitting for years. Sitting is the enemy.
Thanks Richard, fully appreciate the candor on here, I have NO PROBLEM with the Mexicans working on the coach if needed, especially repainting one. I have experienced extremely shoddy workmanship on my Surburban 2500 here in the USA. In the UK ALL vehicles must pass a MOT, from a grocery getter to a HGV Heavy goods vehicle (several inspections). I understand what is needed to keep a vehicle road worthy.
What I have noticed, very apparently, is the service writers job is the most important at a repair facility. Their job is to extract as much, and price gouge as much as possible as they are on a comission.
Its a different system in the UK, the book states the hours a job is to complete.
Anyhoo, If I find the right bus and it looks viable it might be a ok.
There is a mid 90's on RV Trader with 300k asking $45k with the Detroit series 60.
I'm keeping an eye on the market and I see it softening soon.
Cheers
