Yep mike, there is something going on with that bus that sounds shady, could be it spent time under water or maybe it's the bus judy garland flew to Oz in, or was that a house lol, anyway I would be very concerned with the lack of information as to whats the story behind it, maybe it's a drug lords mule coach and it's full of hidden money cans.

That same seller has had multiple ads with very similar buses.  Wherever he got them from there was more than one that were for export only.

Happens all the time, a small player sees a large vehicle for a really low price and they jump in to make some money.

Sometimes the gamble pays, sometimes not.

The dogbus dumped those for whatever reason, this guy thinks he can make a buck.

No greater meaning or significance.

happy coaching!

Hello:   Cody I love your cynicism;    However;   If the bus was bought to be scrapped the only available recourse is a salvage title. The original scrap man may not have the ability to transfer the original title especially if it was government or a transit bus organization.
    When I purchased an orion coach via auction from sportran in La I was guaranteed a clear title. The auctioneer did not have one. I had to put his feet to the fire to get it.  Sportran did not have titles because it was a government organization and they had a certificate from the manufacturer and a nameplate with the vin numbers.
   After much calling and wringing of hands the auctioneer had the city of shreveport  get a title from la. to send to me.  I had to be very persistent to get it because everyone drug their feet.    Most of the coaches went to one buyer who took care of those issues in other ways ???   and issued titles if required or scrapped them.   I think there is a bit of collusion going on here and  the famous phrase is buyer beware....    And PT Barnum's famous line  THeres a sucker born every minute...
    Regards and Happy bussin  mike
i have heard of different ways of getting titles for liens for work  done and so  on  but i think mike has hit the nail squarely on the head.  every time i check ebay which is almost every day and i see this coach , i wonder whats wrong with it, could frame be twisted and it runs crooked down the road :P :P
