The wife and I want to move to something a little bigger then our an440. Being that we fulltime i would much rather buy something ready that we can modify to our standards. I'm confident this is a bit overprice for the time it's been sitting, what is the consensus of this things value? also with the eagle rust issues how much damage could have occured sitting in somebody's yard?  Thanks in advace all I haven't emailed this person yet i want some opinions

Sure hope no one here converted the bus, that is a 01 Eagle parts are tough to come by for the suspension and windshields they are in a world of their own 05,10,15, and 20 parts won't work for the 01.
Who ever did the skinning of the outside did not know what they were doing it is one of the worst I ever saw and I would not be surprised if it leaks bad.  
May be a 5000.00 bus who knows  



good luck
