Anyone in Beaumont, TX area to look at a MCI-9?

Jamie T. · August 10, 2011, 06:48:24 AM

I have been gaining as much knowledge as I can from this board for some time now. My wife and I have decided that there is no better time than now to purchase our first bus! We have looked at a couple so far, but haven't pulled the trigger on any. Is there anyone in the Beaumont, TX area that would be interested in looking at Johns4104s MCI-9? Or does anyone have any info on the bus from seeing it on the road or at events?

If anyone knows of other buses for sale, we are looking for a mechanically sound 40' or 45'. We have a $25,000 budget.

Thanks a bunch from a new Bus Nut!

Looks like a good bus , if you buy it that brass Eagle needs to come off it and fly my direction

I've seen his MCI a couple of times, I do know he put a lot of money into mechanicals. They used it to travel between TX and AZ for a couple of years. An honest guy to deal with.

They also attend our Texas Bus Roundup a couple of times. A few of the pics on eBay were taken there.

Hey Matt

That is not a brass Eagle. While John was at my shop, he said he wanted
a Eagle, so I took a aluminum one and painted it gold, an then we put it on.
