Book value vs selling price on depreciated assets
Tuga,
If book value is zero (fully depreciated out) and you sell it for 200K then you will need to recapture that amount. Now if you buy another bus you will adjust your cost basis accordingly. Really fun stuff, this buying and selling equipment. However it can work to your advantage.
