I have searched every method possible. I think I found this because the owners wife listed it only on one site and all the photos were blurry. The ad only stated 97 prevost liberty and had no other description, the photo was in front of a grocery store. I saved the listing a month ago but it looked like a scam 29 people have saved the listing, 150 have saved a similar listing for a less expensive prevost. There were only a total of 4 photos posted.
I finally said I need to go look at this newell 3 hours away and they are in the same town so I might as well look at two. I spoke to the owner on thursday and found out it might work. I looked at it friday.
I showed up at the owners farm and he a few vintage cars in great condition. The bus was kept in a heated barn with the other cars and 2 older Harleys. I had spoken to the owner about issues with the bus and he was up front about the clear coat failure. The bus has no rust on any bays and all the doors open and work as they should. He seemed very specific about his bus and talked about the repairs he had done. He talked about having to remove the fridge to service the a/c filters and had built something to pull the fridge.
Engine ran as it should and so did the 20kw genny, new chassis batteries and so on. It does have an interior blemish, a ceiling panel had the glue come loose, it could be a sign of water damage, but there is no water line around the area, if the closet door opens all the way it would have hit that spot and appears it came loose.
I searched for issues all over the place, but wasn't able to find many. All the items on the bus worked as they should. He said someone offered him 69k, and that he found that to be insulting. He said 2 people have looked at it. I think the ****** ad pretty much doomed his ability to sell it. Only 29 people have even looked at the ad.
