Thanks for chiming in Al

Clearwater here. You're right about 8V92 mechanics. One of the reasons we're going in on this 1991 is that we met and have a plan to continue working with an 8V mechanic who's local to us an hour and half away from Asheville NC in Greenville SC. He was the person housing and servicing another 1994 Liberty we'd gone to see with the potential for buying. That bus wasn't right for us, but the mechanic was

As for why it's unlikely getting a Prevost PDI done? It's really about the circumstances, and the fact that the prices are so low + he just wants them gone so he doesn't have to keep flying back to the US from Germany to care for them. (he has two buses for sale - well, one now since we turned down the 1994 and that got snapped up the SAME DAY we turned it down by another buyer) The individual selling the buses used them for over two decades on contract with racing teams up until the last Seabring 2017 race (mostly with Audi AG for their Leman's race team, as you can see in the photos). Now that he's sold his company, these coaches are effectively boat anchors. To make the process of selling quick, the cost is very very low. Along with low cost comes a cavalcade of buyers. Obviously why go through these troubles with a buyer who wants to do *all the things*, when there is a line of others waiting with cash in hand who don't?

It's not optimal to be sure, but we're pretty well mentally and financially prepared for a laundry list of service - we think lol!
