Sometimes I see another bus for sale and ask myself now why wasn't that for sale when I was looking.

It's an affliction I know it but certain ones just speak to me......no meds needed for this :)

enjoy......

Boy, that is a nicely done one. Too bad for the owner that the market is so lame right now. 2 years ago that could have brought a lot better price than it likely will now.

I also have an affliction for buses of any make or model.

Even though we own our dream Eagle, it doesn't hurt to look and drool.

This a nice looking Flx for sure.

Hope it goes to a good home.

Aint life grand. ;D

That is a very nice looking coach for sure. Someone will be very happy with that one. Wonder what kind of reserve is on it though. ???

i got lucky... i got a Prevost! it is an older one (1982) & it's not a le mirage (i don't care for the roof line of those) but it has the same/similiar body & it runs like a "bat out of hell"!?! it's had/has its problems, but i'm learning to work them out... i am having fun working on it!

If we all waited for the ultimate bus to appear we would probably still be waiting. Now that the market has changed fuel wise some good buys are poping up. Right after I brought my 89 Prevost 6 speed standard home all these deals on ones with automatics starting appearing only if I HAD WAITED. Have had it for 3 years now and totally enjoy it even if I have to shift it. Would have been nice to let the wife drive on occassion with the automatic. Plus I am getting older and really could not wait any longer. My back lets me know every day when working on it.

The photos show nice woodwork and other details. But having seen this bus, the photos do not do it justice.

6 hours to go. Wonder if the reserve will be met.

Nope, it wasn't. As nice as that one is, in this market he won't get what it should be worth.
