Title: Love some thoughts on this Eagle...
Post by: pickpaul on March 24, 2009, 01:14:29 AM
Just found this on CL and don't know where to start. His asking price seems high once you've added up the repairs.

I think it's a stay clear bus but was just curious on your thoughts.

Cheers, Paul.

I'm no expert,in fact very much a newbie too.He admits to  the bus needing $12,000.dollars worth of work.From my little experience it probable needs twice that in repairs or more.If it was me I would run away as fast as I could.lol Hugs Peabody

RUN!!!!!!!!

Keep looking.  If that guy is honest, it probably needs MUCH more.  Good luck!

This bus looks very similar to a bus that Gene the Busman has on his website except he is asking just under $30,000.  The bus is in Maiden NC.  So are Gene and Goodson's and it is not on Goodson's site.

That bus has hit something very hard to break the drive axle and tear up the boogie to the point of welding on both.      good luck

I believe I know that bus, I stopped and visited a bluegrasser friend and he took me to look at one very much like that one in the area, when i crawled under the front bumper and looked up, I could see nothing but rusted off metal, the same everywhere I looked, I own and love eagles but this one was an extreme example of what not to buy, the exterior looked ok but you could grab the fenderwells and pull them out an inch, just nothing left, not sure if it is the same bus but sure looks like it.
