So my buddy is selling me a 93 bluebird schoolbus with some upgrades. Its from the "Sobe love bus tour" 99-06, one of 8 busses that traveled around the US doing sobe lifestyle events. So its still wrapped, has all the stickers, folding rooftop platform, thule rocketboxes, 193K miles, runs good, just started right up after sitting 3-4 months, has all new brakes, but needs tires and basic fluid changes from sitting. The interior has black carpeting, a futon and little dinette area already. Theres a non- running onan generator.
Im gonna get it, but he said do some research on pricing. He threw out $8k, which i think might be too high. He paid $6k and had a mobile mechanic come do the brakes. Its got the dt466/ allison.
Is he high/ low on price? Any problem areas or things i should check out or pay attention to? General run down/ ideas on these?
Also any recommendations on parts suppliers, useful upgrades, suggestions are welcome (even if its to drink bleach). Are there any questions i should be asking that im not?
Plan is to fix up/ convert (build thread?) for living out of full time next year working in Cali. Whatever work it needs ill do myself at his place.
