GOSH, I WISH THAT I WEREN'T SO DUMB......Florida bus again.

Bruce,

I don't have the luxury or the misery of a job.  I am 74 and living from S.S.

Bank robbery is my second source.

Ros

      Yes, and as I was writing, I was thinking "he's probably been working on all this" but it seemed a good thing to put the basics all together in one place.  And I was hoping to not sound lecturing, like I said, just trying to organize some facts.   it's good that you're getting the prep work done.

      Right.  Some people feel "hooked" to one particular place -- even if it's a bad one -- by the need to be there for a job.  If you can move (or even better, if it's in your job interests to move), it will be a great advantage for you.

      There will be "the right bus" for you out there - it's just a matter of finding it!  Good luck with your effort.

More money at 7/11 than banks nowadays

Thanks but: "Ad with ID 23202964I does not exist."

I am afraid of buses that old.

Try removing the "I" from the end of it. It's a run on sentence.  


BTW, that is one sweet looking MCI! Nice price, too! Where were these great buses when I was first looking?

[ros]

Thanks, Gumpy.  That worked.  Nice bus for a collector but too old for me and my pocketbook.

Thanks, Dragon. 

I need something newer and cheaper, if possible.

With all due respect I think your requirements out do your wallet.

I'm looking for a brand new Prevost, Liberty conversion on the XLII chassis, two slides, over the road air, 4 CruiseAirs, Sub Zero refrigerator and freezers, LED TVs, ipad remote controls for all audio visual and house functions, lithium batteries and all the standard Prevost chassis features and it must fit my budget. I know it is out there. I just have to find one for the price I am willing to pay.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but the smart a$$ed remarks above is what it is sounding like. When that Prevost popped up it WAS a bargain and the fact it lasted 2 days is proof. When anyone is looking to "steal" something for very little money, paralysis by analysis is going to kill the opportunity every single time.

[luvrbus]

Wonder what happen with the Prevost I heard something in the FL repo law prevented the sell from a guy looking into buying it but that could be because the outfit got a better offer than his too

[ros]

Itspaidfor,

What's new?

A very few of you fellows are really something.

I got all sorts of accolades for doing a great amount of research.  If I hadn't, done due diligence I would have caught Hell.  Now, I have just a wee bit of knowledge under my belt and I catch Hell for exercising what I have learned.

It all goes to prove the saying:  "You can't please everyone........"

Jon: "I CALLED ON THE PREVOST THE MOMENT I SAW IT AND HE WANTED ME TO ALSO CALL HIM THE NEXT DAY AND I DID THAT, TOO.  He promised to send pictures and a copy of the title.  He never sent them.  Meanwhile, it sold.

Consider this, Jon:  JUST HOW FOOLISH WOULD IT BE TO SEE A WOMAN'S BEAUTIFUL FACE AND IMMEDIATELY PROPOSE MARRIAGE WITH OUT ANY BENEFIT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HER WHATSOEVER.  Now, this is exactly what you just said with slight modification to the object.

Wouldn't the low price alert you to the possibility that there may be something majorly wrong with it?  Jumping off like you wish that I had done is foolhardiness to the maximum.

Jon, you seem to be an intelligent fellow but to expect anyone to buy anything with nothing to go on except good-looks, is not utilizing that intelligence.

Also, I don't think that I am looking to steal anything.  I have cash to exchange for an equitable deal and I am the one who decides what is equitable and what isn't.

Surely, I want an excellent price but you don't have the benefit of knowing all of the buses that I have looked at, investigated and for one reason or several excellent reasons, have turned down.

Finally, I have to wonder what purpose your post serves.  How does it help me?  How does it help others?  I really would like for you to answer this question.

Maybe  not marrage right away,
But a "test drive" would seem appropriate. ..
