Hopefully the artist will have the name on my bus this week. Smoke n' Mirrors.
It takes an ample supply of both for the working man to own and maintain our magical machines, irrespective of the purchase price.

But the biggest thing that matters "Are you happy with the purchase you made" Nothing else should really matter. Bill 84FC325SB Terrace, B.C. Leroy Eckert For What It's Worth: I agree with O'Conner and Roger except I chose another angle when looking for my bus. I believe in the value approach. Value is the fair or proper equivalent in money and is determined at a point in time. When searching for a bus I looked at many coaches in my price range. Understanding coaches are depreciable assets I ignored the cost of normal maintenance. I did consider deferred maintenance and any upgrades that were made by previous owners. I knew when I walked up to the bus I now own that it was in fine shape. I bought it on the spot. Did I pay to much? The jury is still out. I paid more than I wanted to pay! Everything is relative, you get what you pay for. Two years of ownership has(knock on wood) supported my decision. Very few problems. The majority of heavy dollars have been spent on elective upgrades. Like all Bluebird owners, I'm not embarrassed to pull my rig right up next to a brand new $2,000,000 Prevost. He ain't laugh'n, I am.

In my case, I probably paid too much for my 91WL a few years back and I know I have spent way too much money on it ever since. Yet, since accepting the advice of someone from this forum to consider it as `restoring a vintage vehicle' versus `spending money on an old motor home,' it has been (most of the time) a great source of pleasure and pride. We tailgate at the Hawkeye football games in a designated RV lot and I always have people comment on our coach. It is easy to be proud of a BB compared to a used plastic motor home, but it is also very satisfying to be able to compare favorably to newer coaches, including high-end coaches that cost one heck of lot more than I have got in my 91.
