For The Bus Seekers On A Budget

[luvrbus]

I just received my Ritchie Bros sales for Feb they have 1985 Lady Liberty Prevost at auction in Orlando FL Feb 15 -19  take a little cash it will go cheap as it has a rebuilt title probably from water.
I have no interest in Ritchie Bros just trying to help a few out here looking for buses if like most of their sales the buses and RV's go cheap and you don't need a dealers license but will cost you another 5%



good luck

Clifford - how much do you want me to bid it for you - you know you can't stay busless forever

   Kinda answers why theres no pics of it. Along with a salvage title it cant be worth much.

[luvrbus]

It has been redone so I was told they are driving there has 180,000 miles on the speedometer it is not even on the sales lot yet for photos give the guys a breaks gee,it could be a good buy for someone insurance co's total most everything nowdays salvage titles are common.
I know of a lot of buses that have salvage titles no big deal if you are going to keep it

good luck

Can a salvage title be licensed to drive on the road?  Jack

[white-eagle]

after an passed inspection, yes, at least in Ohio.  don't know about florida, but it would seem to be a good thing in all states.

[JackConrad]

Gee Tom, I guess I could have just opened my window and ask you "in person".  LOL    Jack

[luvrbus]

Sure they can Jack no difference just shows that the vehicle has been rebuilt Bob's Prevost here will have one I pretty sure,Richards old bus that Mike bought and took to Texas has one not a biggy,
James here is rebuilding a wrecked Prevost and it will have the salvage title he will have 100,000 dollar bus for maybe 20 grand when he is through




good luck

I'm doing a fire damaged shell now. If it was done rite there shouldn't be any odor. the fire possibly did not get inside. unless it was a interior fire.  Ozone machines do wanders in takeing odor out of a bus. If it is for your own personal use for a extended period I would consider it. low$ only . I stripped everything out with a odor and covered all(walls floor ceiling everything) with Kiltz with odor barrier. Still a long way to go on exterior on mine. Lots of new stainless. Ck to see if there is a reserve?could be more than it's worth! I had a salvage title and had no problem getting rebuild title .   Bob

[luvrbus]

There will not be a reserve at that auction only way he can protect the bus it is have a friend buy it back then he pays something like 18% if they find out and they will find out I used that Co to liquidate my equipment in 2000


good luck

I've never forgot'n my first Richie sale.......... they had 12 late model 379 black Petes , brought all 12 side by side / end to end in front of the stadium seating and raised all the glass overhead doors on the whole side of the building.  Auctioneer announced that you are bidding on one and take as many as you like.  People were buying 1 to 4 at a time, it was awesome.  I later seen those same trucks in the truck trader people with a 12K markup on a dealers lot.

I love auctions , if things are cheap it is time to buy and resell, if things are going high it is time to by local and dump it at the auction. 

I wouldn't be afraid of going to that sale and swing some cash around on a Prevost with salvage title, I've never road a title down the road but I have drove some cars and motorcycles that I save thousands on and flipped later on after I had my fun.
