Check out this Bus Conversion
It looks very nice in the pictures and it I suspect it was very well
maintained but it also has very high miles on the drive line and the
chassis. A guy also has to consider what similar money would buy in
today's Rv market. This is another perfect example of sellers who
have made large investments and are not able to see the reality of
today's market. I would not like to deal with a drive line with a
reported 200K history. If the engine and transmission were in the
100k area and everything checked out 100% (new tires,etc,etc) I could
see perhaps $40K tops if it drove like a dream and needed nothing. As
it sets now my thoughts are mid to high twenties. We know when the
asking price is $85 the seller is not going to be amenable to
reasonable offers. I am willing to waste an evening just to see it,
because it is appealing to me and its close. More later.
