Oh My Gosh,

OOOhhhhh....I don't know what to say to such caring and concern !!!! It's never happened to me before...I'm overwhelmed !!!

Yes I do want to buy my own diesel bus with all my heart...It may have looked like I wasn't serious to dealers but that was only because I was being soooooooooo careful not to make a mistake...a bad buy...

I want to drive a real bus again...I do want to see the bus... and I do want to do everything right...and it is a huge move on my part, no one knows this better than me..

After reading these last few posts and the e-mail I woke up to from Jon this morning I won't go to Duncannon alone...

Steve Katz hasn't sent me the directions he said he would in his e-mail to me yesterday, Saturday and it is now after 1:00 PM Sunday...

Gosh...I'm packed for a few days stay in Pa...If Steve had sent the directions earlier I was going to go up there TODAY...so I could find a motel, and look for a mechanic, and I was considering going to the local police to see if an officer could be sent with me rather than go all alone to meet with "Max"...

He could even be a real nice person who might be known in the area..I hate to think the worst of anyone or anything until I'm sure..That's why I would have gone the day early since I had the time...but it's obvious I can't depend on what Steve Katz has told me..

I'd have to see and drive the bus and have a mechanic check it over before I would ever buy it..!!!!!!!!

Oh ... Yes I can drive...drove for Greyhound...but it was a few years ago...

Money will be tight for me after paying 135K for a bus because 40K of it will have to come from my Approved Line of Credit on my house...but I will be putting my house on the market immediately after I buy the bus...I hate bills...Soon as it sells I would pay off my debt and I have plans to buy a mobile home in Fl. for my home base...I've always needed roots to come back to...

I don't need or want this 9 room house anymore...been here 40 plus years...It's worth 300K plus...and I'd maybe even look for a better bus then...but not if I loved the first one...I've only traded up to get more convenience and a little bigger...I have my Dolphin 7 yrs..and will keep it if I can't find the bus with my name on it...

Sure would be wonderful if you were right about Max...lol...

The bigger questions are 2 fold. Does Viv really want to purchase a bus, can she drive one can she afford the purchase price and the upgrade and service expense, not to speak of the expenses related to storage travel etc. This is not a purchase for the faint at heart.

2nd: If the answer to is that Viv still wants a bus she might be able to kill 2 birds with a visit to See the bus. Max is the owner of the home (i checked this out) and I suspect the bus. He may be completely unaware of Steve Katz's handling of Viv. If Viv can have someone on hand who knows buses and can give her the underneath, behind the floorboards perspective it might be possible to find out if this bus is right.

If it is not, my guess is that Max would not want to hold up Viv or place his bus in a legal battle. If she does not want the bus she should tell Max and ask Max to tell Steve Katz to refund her money.

This might be the fastest way to the end game.

On the other hand if Viv goes alone without any advice she might make a very bad (I really want a Bus decision) move and fall in love with the whole notion. Who knows maybe Max is single and Viv and he hit it off. Remember it is Christmas and miracles can happen.
