Selling Bus

[mike kerley]

Dale, You and Paulette have done such a nice job with that unit, I feel bad that your planning on selling it.

Lots of folks fix them up and then trade them, your out of sync doing all that work and then selling it. I hope you end up keeping it just so we get to see you again down the road.

Whatever happens, Karen and I wish you the best.

Tom,

Thanks for the kind words, you know that I would never make fun about your new acquisition. Who knows, if the DEQ and EPA have their way with me I may be driving a gasser myself in the near future. Do you think that MM and JDUB would actually make fun of your MH?

I'll be in OSHKOSH Saturday morning about 10 AM, but I am not sure where to park. JDUB said that we will be parked across from the North 40 shower building, so I guess we will just look for that landmark. Hope to see you and Nancy there. Could you give me some directions on how to find Don the Osh Dude (as MM calls him)?

Who else will be there?

Tug,

Do I think MM and Jdub will make fun of my plastic thingy, hell yes!!! I'll be disappointed if they don't..

We don't get there until Monday evening, can't leave Rochester, NY until early Sunday morning due to a big family deal. I'm like you, don't have a clue where to go, but Mango said he would post it.

Looking forward to seeing you and Karen..

The last thing I am trying to do is to devalue the market for other Prevost owners. My thinking was that I would just place a realistic price on the bus, and it might sell in a few months. I see many sellers over-price their unit, and a year later they are down to a realistic price and eventually sell. My son says I always fix things up very nice for the next buyer then sell them too cheaply. My initial thinking is more in line with Jon's comments.

The one thing that I think makes my unit a little cheaper is the fact that it has 147K miles on it. Of course, to put this in perspective, is the same as a 1999 haveing 84K miles on it, so I don't guess mine is that bad. It runs great, and I placed it in the Detroit shop a few months ago and asked them to do anything the engine needed. They said everything checked out fine on the engine and fuel system, and they could take my money and do things like change all injectors, etc., but didn't think it would offer any return on my investment. They didn't even find any leaks anywhere. I was prepared for a bill of a couple thousand dollars, but I think they charged me a couple hundred.

I may reconsider raising the price, since I am not sure I really want to sell it at this time. We did enjoy POG III and meeting some wonderful people and making friends with people we would otherwise never have met.

Gas Trukster,

I see that you are trying to make up for your serious lack of testosterone, primarily brought on by selling your Marathon.. By posting an avtar of my most manly Jeep (not a rosie o'donnel model).

Keep in mind that the joy brought on by the vicarious use of another man's manly vehicles, is fleeting. Fleeting indeed !

May the man upstairs have mercy on your no-bus owning butt

I will sic Jdub & The Mango upon you like a hoard of diet Coke & Mento spraying locusts!
