Title: Value?
Post by: Charley Davidson on February 28, 2011, 09:08:55 AM
What is a really good 8V92 DDEC with all of the computer and an Alison 740A Atec tranny worth?

Just trying to figure out values of what I have if I were to go a different route of selling my bus.

Think I'll put it on Ebay & craigs list first but just planning ahead

Where is it?  How long has it been sitting?  Do you have maintenance records?  etc.

i know someone that just got $130 for their 6v71, and it was running.  But not currently in a bus.  i think that was scrap value after no one made an offer to buy.

It's in fully running functioning bus the longest it's ever set without being driven is a couple months in the 6 years I've had it. No maintenance records but does have DDEC info to tell a bit about it.

The bus is really way too nice of a bus to scrap or part out but if I can get more money buy doing so I will.

Basically it has paid for it's self buy running on WVO

And a 671 is a poor comparison to a 8V92 DDEC, That would be like me asking what a Porche 911 is worth and someone saying "Well my buddy sold his 67 VW Beetle for $50"

I don't have to sell the bus at all, but I want one of these http://www.trucutcnc.com/ (http://www.trucutcnc.com/)
That Ross Carlisle (former bus nut & member here) builds. Plus a little working capital. I actually really like my bus but it's the only way I can come up with the cash.
