This bus didn't sell earlier today. They had the opening bid set at 1500. Obviously didn't sell...

Clifford,
What do you mean. Please educate me a bit. Thanx, John
John, most of the transit co run their buses on CNG (compressed natural gas) or LNG (Liquefied natural gas) they convert a diesel engine over to a spark type engine, at one time there were several but now Cummins and John Deere are the major ones left.
Talking to the guys that transport the buses they set the fuel stops up at different cities across the route.
I know there are other states that sell the fuel but Utah is the only state I have been too that has pumps for CNG.
good luck
The bus in question uses diesel fuel. Also may not sell due to "Bidders from California: You must be a Vehicle Dealer to purchase this vehicle in California."
The funny thing is the vehicle is already titled in Ca. The plates appear to have expired in 2007.
Unless the vehicle was retired from a fleet and has a vin stop on it, then it can't be registered in Ca.
Adarian,
If I understood their disclosure, the reason they don't sell to CA bidders is cost of sale. Being a dealer in CA they have to certify that certain systems are operational to CA residents. I doubt they see most of the products they sell let alone give them a thorough inspection.

I contacted them and it has a few broken lenses they would have to fix before selling.
Safety issue. Selling to another dealer would put that dealer on the hook for fixing them before selling to a non-dealer.
But for 1k, not a bad price.
