My bus cost £2,500, which is equivalent to just under $4,000, but the used bus market here in the UK is very different from the States - there are many many different bus manufacturers to choose from here, so it's very much like the car market with new models coming out all the time and the value of used models falling very rapidly. Which is excellent if you're a home converter - but ironically it's almost a non-existent hobby here

PS - Fortunately I can't think of any way of spending the equivalent of $100,000 on my bus that would improve it in any meaningful sense, even if I had the money available
A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

"I bought my bus for $4,000. About $100,000 later it is where it is today."

So you are still 150K less than what a new stick and staple job would cost you.

Your correct, Mung. And I'm quite confident that if I get in a collision who would win! Good luck, TomC
