Hello Gents,

I'm looking for good mechanics to inspect some old MCIs for sale near Charlotte and Minneapolis. Any recommendations?

Cheers.

What exactly are you expecting from the inspection?  I may be willing to look at the Minneapolis ones.

Yes. All 92 series are turbo, as far as I know.  At least in buses they are.

I am interested in a purchase, so perhaps you could look over it and tell me if it's good to go?

Also looking for mechanics near Nashville and New York City.

Am I the only one who feels like something is off about this? He's needing bus inspections all over the place and in another post he's looking for parking in California for a bus. Cryptic posts and my red flags are just flying high right now....??

If he is someone looking for a personal bus to buy, then it is appropriate to ask for help here, but if he is a bus dealer looking to make a profit trading buses or conversions, it seems a tad bit overbearing. Mechanics should be hired to do inspections in that case.  ???
