Looking to buy a bus

Hey all. Just putting some feelers out for this. Our '96 Prevost (The Tan Van) went down last week. Which sucked because we are now in the middle of a Montana run (From Texas!). We are having the Tan Van fixed, but are kinda looking at other options.

So what we are looking for is:

Non star coach (needs a back lounge for mario kart)
At least 1 slide out
No shower (we have a shower in our trailer)
12 bunks (there's 11 of us plus a junk bunk)
Something well maintained
Maybe even a little bit of soul.

We are looking to spend up to 200k on this. The Tan Van was 100k. Just looking to step up a little.


So if anybody knows a guy who knows a guy, tell me what you've got.
 
Re: Looking to buy a bus

There's some to be had in the Nashville area, but being the middle of tour season the selection will be a lot smaller than in the dead of winter. Try busforsale.com, staleycoach.com, and goodsonbussales.com. I'd also check with Hemphill Bros and Roberts Bros since they do conversions and renovations.

You'll probably be able to get about a 10 year old bus for that price. The with slide/without shower may be tough to find - you may be stuck with both or neither.

Good luck! Bus breakdowns are never fun.
